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.

Had something of the same years ago. I narrowly avoided running over an unleashed dog on the bike lane. As a thank you for not maiming it, it bit me. Luckily, I wore tough jeans, so it only left some bruises. I picked it up by the neck, and it barked at me. I contemplated to just throw it into the nearby river, when the owner, a granny, "ran up" and demanded I put the "poor doggie" down.
I showed her my leg and offered her that she either puts that beast on a leash, or I put it in the river. Very reluctantly she got the leash from her handbag. I reminded her that dogs have to be on a leash there by law, not just because of the bike lane, but because of the birds and other animals.
Not every place requires a dog to be leashed, but I think that's a terrible rule outside of dog parks for all sorts of reasons. Super long retractable leashes should be banned on bike paths too IMO - I've seen way too many people get clotheslined by those things because the owners are oblivious assholes who couldn't care less if they cause a crash.
That was a public park near the river, and there are birds nesting. Dogs must be on a leash alk the time, and if they get caught, it gets... pricey.
This is why I don't slap geese when they get in my face (mostly kidding).
