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 a traffic law, you can teach it just like any other. It gets added to driving school's curricula and must be demonstrated in driving tests. You could communicate this law to existing drivers by removing the stop line from bike lanes and putting little bike yield signs, if the intersection warrants it.

Anything to avoid personal accountability I guess...

I've noticed that's a huge trend in this sub, and honestly I should have just blocked it long ago

What are you even talking about?

It's your personal responsibility as a driver to know and obey all traffic laws, even if they change it so that cyclists don't have to physically stop at stop signs.
