Pedestrian walking in a bike only lane complains that I rode too fast

So this woman is walking off the bridge in a green, bike-only lane, I pass her at maybe 12 mph and ring my bell. She catches up with me at a light (bikeway ends soon and there is a loooong light to cross the traffic lanes) and complains that I ignored the " Slow" sign. I didn't: I slowed down from 20+ mph down-ramp speed but she ignored the "no pedestrians" sign... Her reply? Pedestrians are often confused... She got that right, ther were two superwide, marked peds crossing on both sides of the ramp but she chose to walk along the green bike-only lane.

It is sometimes hard to stay positive.
