I try my best to make way and be considerate as much as possible. Common courtesy is the key. I've only ever had one 'run in' with a pedestrian, I was going uphill through the trees in delta park and she was walking down the hill in the same bit of singletrack. Unfortunately I was finding it challenging to move out of her way because I was in a bit of a rut and travelling at a pretty slow speed (coupled with being slightly technically challenged). All it would've taken was one single step sideways for her and the problem would've been averted, but like the OP she chose to 'hold her line'. I was forced to a physical stop, followed by a load of verbal abuse about MTB'ers in general. I had to bite my tongue and remind myself that any reaction from me would've been useless because she had already made her mind up. Why can't we all just get along?
