If the trail was wet and you had mud on your bike there is a good chance that trail damage was happening. The OP probably didn't know enough to recognize it.
Mud on your tires? Another indication of damage.
Your turn.
Look, there are unavoidably ALWAYS low and marshy spots on any trail... such as what he described when talking about "the mud was from a section that was always a bog".
Why you trying to skewer the guy? If he rode the trail and there wasn't any damage beyond the already existing mud pit section why are you so upset.
Further, if he was trashing the trail then this woman was trashing the trail, so she is a hypocrite too. Don't doubt that hiking in mud damages a trail.
