It seems that people have changed for the worst this last year.
That happened to me as well, Harbor and Warner, a couple of dudes crossing Warner began yelling a gesturing. I think it was my eye wear, made it look like I was giving them "hard looks". From the Stadium to Warner is probably the worse section of the SART to ride alone.
