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.

Rosa Parks was breaking the law, too. If the law is stupid or unconstitutional, suing is how you get a court to make that determination and strike the law.

In this case, the cyclists’ argument is that they are following the law and the NYPD is incorrectly citing them.
