And don’t forget “two spaces after a period” too.
As long as nobody mentions font selection the haters won’t hate and we should be fine.

Very cool!!
there is no worthwhile debate. one way is correct, and one isn’t. 
this message was paid for by the comma equality council.

this is functionally dead because almost all browsers/html devices render multiple white spaces as a single space anyway

And by all means, don’t use a preposition in a sentence afterwards.

And of course, don’t use no double negatives – not never no how

I run some 64-core machines (with a half terabyte of RAM each) at work. Those are great for compiling but anything big (say, Firefox) can still take a while. 
Two spaces is for print, web hast mostly accepted 1 as the default these days.
I think my boss my question my purchase of a 64 core workstation…

Was for print. I think even Struck and Chicago style manuals have succumbed to one now that proportional fonts and variable kerning are ubiquitous.
Damned hard getting used to not double-tapping the spacebar.

Guess I’m a little slow.

Well that’s an ambiguous sentence. The ‘simply’ could modify ‘does’ or ‘discuss’. I think the OP meant it to modify ‘does’. But in that case why wasn’t the sentence constructed as ‘One simply does not discuss grammar on a glowforge forum’ which would have been simpler and clearer in intent since the ‘simply’ can modify only ‘does’. As it was I interpreted the ‘simply’ as modifying ‘discuss’. In which case I hardily agree, one does not simply discuss grammar on a glowforge forum, we complicatedly discuss grammar on a glowforge forum. 
Best to pop the stack now and stop being meta.

When ending a sentence with a web address: do you avoid using a period, do you use a period normally and hope it is not confused for part of the web address, or do you put a space or two between the end of the web address and the period?

Hmmm, confusing, this is.
