[pct-l] What Do Bicyclists Think?

[Dan Jacobs]

First, let me say that no individual or group has my permission to
copy in any fashion my writing in any form anywhere else but the PCT-L
email list. I expect this to be ignored, but there it is. If you want
to gain some respect, you can start with a goodwill gesture and
respect my wishes.

Expect respect, well, yes. Get it? That is another thing IME. Respect
would include, I imagine, not copying someone's words without their
permission. Would it hurt to even try? It seems so.

I'm not even talking about copyright. I'm talking about respect. I
respect the right of the MTBers to try to get access to trails that
are not open to them, they should respect me not yielding because I
don't have to.  Follow the rules, we'll get along without any trouble.
Respect, if it was a two way street, would mean that one side wouldn't
use the other's words against them in any way, and respect their
experiences as they would like theirs respected.

Respect. How about respecting the intent of the framers and builders
of the PCT and just leave it as it is, a horse and hiker trail.

*Everyone* is welcome on the PCT. Just hike or horse it. Simple. No
fighting, arguing, attorneys, or otherwise.

Done.
