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.

Only if you're riding through it completely not paying attention. I've got exactly such a crossing near my house, and I ride over it very frequently, both on a mountain bike and on a skinny-tire road bike. And I've never once had the slightest issue, because I pay attention to where the tracks are and momentarily go at an angle to make sure I cross over them more perpendicularly. Just takes a slight swerve at the right time, really.
