Maybe it is better to write it off to inexperienced foriegners. They come from 
places where motorbikes do not have such nice paths. They were tired and did 
not see the signs to the correct sidewalk.

As one of the people that walked there previously (carefully, and on the
side), it was pretty clear to me that it wasn't really allowed. I didn't
know it would annoy people, and I stopped now. So, not really your
fault.  It would be have been useful to explain pedestrian customs
(apparently walking on the side of busy roads dodging motorcycles is
normal), but it's impossible to know all of the things that we each
think of as normal, but are surprising to other people.

There's probably no benefit to engaging with such people, unless you are
trying to make facebook less toxic, which is too big of a challenge for
me (maybe start with something easier like eradicating war and hunger ;)).

It's probably our fault that we didn't make clear signs in English that
people shouldn't walk there.

The malicious people on the social network says they consider making a
bowling strike if we do that again. Should I forward that we have no bad
intention and tell them to leave the social network instead?

If I may as well, some of the attendees leave in a country where this site is 
blocked and therefore the chances they have an account is low.

I visited this url and got a facebook login page.  Needless to say I

If you provide a different link, please be sure that it is a link to

Yes, thanks.  Sorry for missing that.

Hrm.

It's unfortunate that the environment is dominated by motor vehicles
and that unassisted humans are expected to make detours.

The initial message (the one you replied to) has the relevant picture as
