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 also have a seatbelts on or I stop driving rule. A lot of people don't want rides from me after I enforce that rule. Like, I'm responsible for their lives as the driver. If they die because they aren't wearing their seatbelts while I was driving, it's my fault for not making them buckle up. I even have seatbelts for my dogs because I want them to be as safe as I am. Passengers lives' are in your hands when you drive. It's really scary if you actually think about it in depth.
