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.

My primary defense is the lock it inside limited access bike rooms - I have my own spot in a bike shed that only people paying for a bike parking spot can access at my home, and at work there's a bike room that requires a badge to access.
Additionally, I have a folding lock that I fold around some kind of secure piece of metal, through the frame and the back wheel.
When out and about, I try to leave the bike where I am able to see it, in daylight, in places where there's a good amount of foot traffic.
These strategies have worked out so far. I'm considering upgrading to a U-lock, but I've so far been reluctant as I fear it may reduce the amount of places where I can lock the bike to.
