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.

Internal hub gears are so much nicer, a little less efficient but honestly the difference has been pretty minimal in my experience
Completely agree. Derailleurs have always seemed to me such a fragile technology. In decades of experience cycling I don't think I have ever encountered a derailleur where the chain turned completely smoothly, without rubbing, in all 7 or 8 gears. There's always a couple of gears that are good and couple you have to avoid. Even if you do manage to fine-tune the thing so that it works perfectly, good luck keeping it that way once the bike gets bashed around a bit.
This is an adjustment/tune problem often compounded by user error. Full stop.
