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.

Is your premise that this can’t happen if someone on a bike knows a dog is coming? It takes not even a second for a dog to go from a standstill to a full sprint. Depending on where the dog starts in relation to the person there may not even be time to avoid it. People need to keep their animals on a leash outside designated areas for this exact reason: someone could get killed.
