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.

The wording of this makes it sound like they ate her

'Formerly hungry cyclists'

I thought it was going to be some crazy woman stopping them from getting breakfast.

Kind of, I guess.

The article being from the US, after I read that that woman shoved the bikes to the ground, I was mentally prepared to read that she got shot.

Wildest thing is that the cyclists were on public ground and she doesn't want them there. Why do you care, lady? Why would someone else stop to berate the cyclists as well? Were they in an ani-cycling cult town?

Some people are that way. We have people in cities who think they own “their parking spot” on a public street. We have people who think they can keep people away from public beaches. It’s not just edge cases but we have people who think they have a right to block wind projects in public waters if they can see it.

It’s suburban thinking. My castle, my rights, etc. They think they have the right to control what’s around them.

HOA mindset. Fucking hate those people.

Shoulda pressed charges. Crazy doesn't understand "a stern talking-to". Consequences get through.

Yeah, consequences might save the next person she freaks out on, or prevent a dangerous escalation.
