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.

Going to be devil's advocate here but there is a chance they where parked on their driveway on on the footpath blocking access for those who use mobility scooters

They have them here in Australia in my local town and I constantly see then lined up right against people's fences or on pathways blocking access for those who use mobility scooters or people who have mobility issues and find it hard to get around them

And these are the kind of scooters that have the occasional beep that annoys you in the middle of the night if they are parked against your fence and your bedroom window is near the fence

Edit: I do not advocate for throwing them in the river

The solution is move them literally anywhere else other than the fucking river, what are you on about.
