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's up to the rider to decide on their personal risk tolerance and wear gear or not. I always find it silly when governments try and protect people from themselves.
If someone hops on a scooter with not even a helmet, flies down the road and injures themselves, that's not an issue for the government to get involved in (unless the scooter malfunctioned or something like that).
However people being reckless and injuring others is an issue too.
The real question is are cars safe?
