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.

Or just keep the dog on the leash like we’re supposed to.

According to the Central Park Conservancy website, dogs are allowed to be unleashed in some areas of the park from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., and from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.

The cyclist was riding on East Drive in the New York City park around 8:18 a.m. local time on Monday, Oct. 5 when he collided with the off-leash dog,

I have heard from people that the areas that are okay to be off leash and those it is prohibited are hard to tell apart.

Honestly, it's just bad park policy, it should be on-leash all the time outside of fenced-in areas. It's as must for the pups' safety as people, there are some really shitty dog owners out there.

Horrible rule: Dogs should be leashed unless it's a dog park, both for the safety of people as well as the dog.
