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 this crazy concept for a safety system... it's a fourth wheel. 3 wheeled vehicles are dangerous and what's worse is they are billed as safer than motorcycles which is simply not true. It doesn't matter if 2 are in front or in back.
[personal bias follows] They are fucking ugly as hell: it's like someone is trying to dress up that three wheeler you had as a kid before you could ride a bike and sell it back to you.
Edit: It would appear I and others have upset the marketing team. I'm not sorry. These things kill people.
Only 3 wheel setup I'd even consider is a reverse trike/tadpole design (on a recumbent bike, not a motorcycle), but all my rides so far have either 2 or 4 wheels.
And from how you describe it you probably have a decent understanding of the dangers involved with the trike... My issue is with many of these companies playing a numbers game of "2% safer therefore it's safe" numbers game. While yes, a reverse trike is able to accept a bit more sideways force, ultimately the single wheel remains the tip point with the peak force in the middle.... or you know... where you sit... so regardless of the configuration a tip means a bad time.
Everyone is welcome to ride / drive what they like but the marketing should be transparent - and education should be required.
I've seen that Reliant Robin episode of Top Gear lol, I know better.
