Being well experienced in the field of filing protests I would say that in this particular case you would be wasting your $100. The procedure for filing is well defined in the rules, in particular rule 15. Pay particular attention to rule 15.2 (d). "clear reference, by number, to each AERC rule or regulation allegedly violated". This is where you will encounter great difficulty.

 

Best to voice your dissatisfaction publicly, engender much in-depth discussion on line, attempt to get the "word" out to the alleged miscreant, and hope that it does not happen again. In some ways this is a moral  dilemma. The AERC has, correctly, shied away from regulating personal interaction during rides. The Rules Committee has seen no good in promulgating specific rules on personal actions. But these actions can cause much dissention with in the ranks. Therefore it is up to these ranks of riders to self police. Direst intervention of peers is the best way to proceed.
