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'm not too interested in reading the article, but I reiterate my categorical objection to similar "safety" devices: why must bicyclists be the ones that have to carry the burden when it is automobiles that are maiming and killing bicyclists? In any functional sense of justice, it would be the aggressor that is punished, and their behavior curbed by effective laws and infrastructure.
Anything short of that is, in my view, a failure in public policy, and no amount of technical innovations can substitute for that.
You answered your own question: The reason is because public policy has failed to protect people.
