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.

Honestly a great take. While i generally doesn't mind throttle-only use of an ebike, some of these machine is just way too fast, to the point people are starting to look at ebike like they look at car.

Out of left field just says the abilism comment came out of no where but not that its not on topic so its completely natural to assume you are talking about the role of electric bikes in folks with less mobility. Which honestly just causes the person to sorta wonder about you because. out of left field? with electric bikes and mobility? I mean once you specifically mentioned the animals it became clear but the initial comment is just one of those things that because you noticed it and thought about it you noticed it but because you were not specific people thought you were talking about something different.
