You're trying to make this a gray-area issue. It's not. Imagine a six-lane freeway, with only two lanes, right in the middle of the road. Nothing more than a bit of dirt on the road. Now, imagine the cyclist riding in the middle of the traffic lane, with two full lanes of available space to his right, riding right in front of a car. I could easily have passed the cyclist on the right. I chose not to do so, because I felt it would present too much danger to the cyclist. I have never, EVER, done any of the things of which you posted. I'm sorry those happened to you, and hope the drivers get the "karmic retribution" they richly deserve. I didn't deserve it, and will continue to be annoyed at the fact that a jackass forced me into an unsafe position simple because he either purposefully or carelessly ILLEGALLY obstructed my ability to pass him.

I will certainly continue to be courteous - this experience is absolutely NOT justification for NOT being courteous, even should I run across the same guy in the same situation again.
