Yes, you're right, I was neither civil not polite. I'm sorry. I think I was reacting to a confluence of all of the people on my morning workouts not wearing masks, not social distancing, etc. and then the people on this site who keep arguing that it's all unproven and all a myth, etc. But sorry to have spilled that all here.
(By the way, you mean "invective" not "hyperbole." Hyperbole would have been my calling them "the world's most careless idiots" or "the most ignorant of all morons"--which they are, but that's not appropriate for this forum.)

In Toronto, the woman runner “felt threatened” (so ergo she was threatened) and called 911. The police attended and when it became apparent that the man admiring the view on the bridge was black, it went south from there. Fortunately no violence but a great deal of offended woke sensibilities on both sides.
It’s complicated.

Well, today we had our second ride across campus with our gaiters. They are much easier to pull on and off than the masks with straps that go behind the ears. I don't really mind too much having the gaiter bunched on my neck during the majority of the ride when we are not on campus. But, the masks with straps that go behind the ears allow for more room between the mask and the mouth and nose, which is better for breathing. I find I am riding with my mouth open while using the gaiter pulled up so I can get enough air.

See how difficult it is to please everyone?
