That's the concrete-bound, anti-conceptual mentality rearing its ugly head. I'm a cyclist and I have people swerve and try to scare me and run me off the road. I have people yell at me and throw things at me. I never take it personally though because they really aren't saying anything about me but everything about themselves.
If I ever stop posting here, know that someone either killed me or I died suddenly from some medical condition.
