#!markdown I just saw the comments as well… so much for theory that people will act with civility when you remove their anonymity. Sad. It doesn't change the fact that people, especially those taking their kids out riding, need to be aware that there is an aggressively unfriendly user targeting weaker/smaller riders. That may be an unfair representation, or only 1/2 the story, but it is better for all users to be aware than to pretend it didn't happen. Obviously, at some level, this started with a misunderstanding: yesterday, a week ago, a year ago, sometime in the 90's, etc. If I was trail god for a day I would resolve all these misunderstandings by putting both users in a nice room, with a couple of comfy chairs, and a pot of coffee because everyone out enjoying the forest has a hell of a lot in common with everyone else out enjoying the forest. Sadly, in this case, I would guess that the Mounties will end up taking notes on a she-said//she-said basis and everyone will probably walk away angry and disappointed. It doesn't have to be like that though as obviously there are people here who know both actors and once the noise dies down a bit maybe you can help them take the steps to reconcile on common ground.
