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.

I am sure as shit not wealthy and do this myself, so it's not impossible.
Also, it's not exhausting once you acclimate to it. Plus an ebike entirely negates the argument that it makes you tired or sweaty (though I usually commute on an unpowered bike).
I get that it's not for everyone but there are also a shitload of people who absolutely could do it and choose not to. Some are even openly hostile to the suggestion.
