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.

For reference, Mackinac Island (mac-eh-naw) is part of Michigan, just off the coast in Lake Huron, known for its near-total ban on automobiles. As a result, they appear to have America's only state highway that prohibits motor vehicles (emergency vehicles excepted).
With that background laid, it is a travesty that an accommodation won't be made without judicial intervention, limited to just her specific case. Even for an active transportation paradise like Mackinac Island, the experience for everyone else will not be meaningfully diminished just because one person has a Class 2 throttle ebike out of necessity.
I can understand why they might need to go through higher channels with this to ensure that other people can't take advantage of the ruling. But it's a shame and unnecessarily dismissive of Hudson that they didn't work with her through this process, especially after the second attempt with the letter of medical necessity. That should have flagged for then to give her special attention for this case, even if they couldn't simply wave it through.
