help your point of view.

We definitely "can be better than that" - and should be...
The 'negative' pct-l posts advocating such 'violence' is exactly what the MTBers want to help further prove their 'point'!
Please think about that before typing a post and hitting "send" - no need to give MTBers more ammo for the battle...
I do agree, however, with the "do not yield" - trail 'etiquette' (actually "rules" on most multi-use trails) put bikes at the 
bottom of the pecking order, having to yield to both hikers & equestrians...

Happy trails!!!  (PCT w/o bikes!)
