The last instance went something like this:
Me: "Hey dude, do you not like red lights or something?"
Him: "What do you mean?"
Me: "You completely blew through that red light, and ended up cutting me off."
Him: "Oh my God, are you serious? I'm so sorry, I didn't see it. Are you okay?"
Me: "Yeah, I'm fine. It wasn't that close that I'd get injured, just wanted to let you know."
Him: "Okay thanks, I'll pay more attention."
Me: "Cool man, have a good day! Also, nice hat, Go Hawks!"

Unfortunately, I don't know how to detect sock accounts outside of registered email and IP addresses. I'm sure some more tech-savvy mods do.
And yes, I'm sharing

I've been having a problem with this recently. The weather is heating up and I can no longer enjoy completely empty bike paths all to myself. The bike path is filled with drunks, criminals, 3rd world people who don't respect rules causing trouble. Someone stole my under seat pack increasing my rage and just 2 days ago 3 scumbags tried to jump me, I had to swing my Abus Bordo 5700 at the leader's head to get them to back down.
I'm almost 40 years old but I find myself looking to get into confrontations with people, cut me off and almost hit me on purpose and then cuss me out? You're taking the Bordo to the passenger side window.
When I'm not on the bike I'm not like this, I'm able to back down and let potential fist fights pass. I think it is because of the Human Growth Hormone and Testosterone being released as I ride my bike.
I can't stand other cyclists either. The aero 60 year old men going 22 MPH for 5 minutes are worse than the drunks.
Guess I just need to wait till winter when all of these people stay inside.

@jfowler85 I'm pretty sure that was a troll account to begin with, and he's been banned.

This is the greatest thread ever. My theory is that we're being trolled by PhantasyTour.... Or some ****** people. Or my mom.

You haven't seen his Kumbaya videos, where he gets the whole crowd to sing it with him and sway along. Trump is just a big ole' fuzzy teddybear made of gumdrops and angel kisses.
Also on a separate unrelated note I have gotten into realty and I have a lovely bridge property for sale, if anyone is interested. Just PM me for details.
