I get yelled at. It happens, I learn and get yelled at for other things. I usually let the yelling of the Prima Donnas go in one ear and out my *******.

Honestly, I don't mind getting yelled at. Shows me that I'm doing something wrong, and it needs to be corrected.

violation: bunny-hopping a pothole and letting the guys behind you nail it without warning.
Fine: chorus of yelling.

One day, I will travel to "mecca", go on a group ride with botto present, and get yelled at by the aforementioned. It will be a glorious occasion.
Got yelled at in a race this past weekend for the classic allegation of "cutting off".
It happens.

I didn't know you could get a citation for taking out a tri guy...or isn't the hunting season open there yet?

Taking out tri-guys warrants an attaboy. However, when coupled with a yelling infraction, it mitigates said infraction and the entire fine is reduced to a tut-tut.
