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.

I have something similar to this but not quite as involved as this one. It's called a Walkydog and it's just a post that sticks out from the side of my bike that has a very short leash on it. The post sticks out far enough that my dog's legs won't get tangled up in the wheels and the leash is on a spring, so he doesn't get yanked around. We have a mutual understanding on how to behave around squirrels and other dogs and he knows I'll ride slow and steady. He's really pretty good with it. I take him with me to go pick up my kids from school and we all ride bikes back home together.
I'd be so worried about crashing, but its sounds fun
There is definitely some getting used to it and I can't ever get careless, but it is a lot of fun and he loves it. To him it's like I'm some super fitness maniac who runs 10mph the whole time we're out.
