A) If you have never seen my face, how are you able to discern its
   appearance?

B) The path in question was a railroad right-of-way before it was a
   bike path.  It was never a bridle path, and it never should have
   been.

C) I don't care where the people ride the damn things.  If they can
   breed an animal that doesn't crap all over everything and chew
   up the surface, they can even ride on the path.

D) Personal abuse  is the lowest breach of etiquette  known to this net.
   You had ample warning the article was offensive, and if you didn't
   like it, tough.  Use the "r" key next time, will you?

By the way, I've gotten quite a few responses to the original article.
