My own opinions on the matter - and there are unfortunately a lot of jerks out there -

if you are hung up on a trail - move out of the way best you can to let people pass...say hello, ask if there is any particular line they need...

speaking of lines through a section, where you are, is likely a preferred line, so best to move off that line to allow people to pass.

We all need to commnunicate, unfortunately many people are caught up in their own worlds, and forget they are sharing, if they are "mad" just apologize for being in the way...nicely...even smiling, and wish them a great ride.

In theory if you are climbing, and some is approaching descending, you shoud have the rigt of way, but again, thats in theory, and there are meanies out there.

my own advice - be polite and move to the less used part of the trail when someone is passing, because likely you are on the line they want.
