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.

Nice. Here's the reddit thread this article is summarizing.

Oh wow, this is a 9 year old reddit thread? The author of this article is really digging for content.

Is this just oversized screenshots of individual sentences of a Reddit post with commentary? What a useless “article”.

"I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to REMOVE a bike rack in front of any kind of business."

You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I've noted this happening at several businesses, a main downtown city street (with dedicated bike lanes!), a school, and recently at an apartment building.
