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.

It isn't even that hard to do either. Tons of places where you can go for a week or more and not see anybody. Less so on the east side, but the Midwest and west half of the country is nice and quiet.
Last time I went backpacking, I was about a half hour from a small town and didn't see anybody for a week while I was wandering around a large wilderness hiking trail.
The downside is that you can end up in a dangerous situation because there is no cell service and you may not see another person for days or more if you can find a road.
A lot of Europeans come here and think they are dealing with their type of "wilderness" and die because of their hubris. You can get turned around and walk for days in the wrong direction with no landmarks to navigate towards because all you see are trees. You can think a water bottle is enough to hike for a few hours in the desert, and find yourself dying while hiding in the shade with heat stroke. You can get mauled by a bear, killed by a mountain lion, violated by a Bigfoot, trampled by a moose, or risk starvation because raccoons stole all your food 3 days from your car. In the northwest and south east you may come across the biggest hazard, two-legged predators that may kill you or worse. Hundreds of people die in our wilderness areas every year, on average 360 die in just our National Parks alone.
Could you expound on this so I know where to < ahem > avoid?
Definitely don't go to 48.222, -121.368 and bend over a log with your pants down after midnight on a full moon.

Well now you tell me.
I would have told you sooner, but I like to watch.
I imagine it would take a fair amount of, uh, bushwhacking to get to that exact spot.
