^ That's just backwards and makes no sense. Try looking at it from some sort of logical standpoint. It just makes much more sense and is safer for everyone for a jogger to step out of the way than a cyclist to try to ride through the woods to try to avoid the jogger. Then there's always just the common decency of not being a dick to MTBers on a MTB trail. That's like me joining up in a game of football with a bunch of 6th graders and slaughtering and tackling the crap out of them. Sure, those are the rules of the game, but a little decency tells me that it's not the right thing to do, just like the runners shouldn't just say "Eh, you have to yield to joggers. I don't really care if you made the trails." Common decency. Difficult for some to grasp, but it's a beautiful thing if we could get everyone to manage it someday.
What you're saying is the equivalent to all of the college students around here who get out of class and stop traffic for 15min at a time just because they have the right of way and can. Sure, you Can be a dick to those 5 cars, but when you know they've been sitting for literally 15min with rude self centered students walking into the street, why not stop a second and let them go by?
