[pct-l] (no subject)

What is great about this constant barrage of complaint by bikers, is it creates backlash and organizing.

Somewhat similar to ORV, which has gotten things to the point where there have been interagency meetings to strategize and organize WRT the PCT.

For example:

As Brick says, take pictures and forward to law enforcement.

It should also be of note that bikers post here with the express purpose of provoking angry responses----and they hope, threats of violence in any form---so that they can then link to those comments as an example of "crazy, violence-prone hikers", designed to pursuade those otherwise uninterested to their side:

Zebulon is referring to the Pacific Crest Trail Association-affiliated listserv PCT_L, on which one or more people have threatened to lay maiming or lethal mantraps for any cyclists who might ride the PCT if multiuse is restored, to sabotage the trail to try to thwart cyclists' use, and/or to try to block cyclists bodily.
It's a disgrace to the PCTA that it hasn't censured the fanatics in its midst. (It's an interesting cultural question what gives rise to such fanaticism in the first place.) Moreover, the violence-minded are foolish to vent on PCT_L, since their statements can be used against them in any eventual prosecutions for murder, manslaughter, aggravated assault, simple assault, battery, and/or false imprisonment.
See, e.g., the discussion for October 2012 on PCT_L:
