It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Earth to vehicle makers and tech journalists -- Incoming message: Nobody actually wants their vehicle to have or need a fucking app. Stop it.

This article bemoans the bike in question not having app connectivity. Well, good. What the hell does a motorcycle need an app for? Motorcycles are for riding.

Yeah, I hate needing my phone to start something: Anything that requires it isn't something I'd buy.
