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.

In some jurisdictions, groups of small vehicles like this can move through intersections as if they were a single vehicle. It makes sense because a peleton would take forever to move through a stop sign otherwise, and nobody wants that.

It's possible the front of the group stopped, and when the riders in the shot caught up the front of the group was already proceeding.
