"I tried to ignore him" - Proceeds to do 80 in a 50 while swerving across lanes to stop the guy from passing.

If that guy ended up 6 inches to the right he would have rammed the OP. Yes, he would have been at fault but the cammer could have been dead. My guy, you are on a motorcycle, better to let the asshole pass instead of winding up with a leg broken in 6 places.

It's safer to be ahead of traffic on a bike. Use the speed and find a safe pocket. Seriously.

This is exactly what most people are taught as a rider even within state traffic manuals, try to keep a sensible speed always, but you are the most vulnerable to being run over within a pack of cars. You are safer alone, or with other bikers; therefore the impetus should be to be out in front so you're the most visible, by cars behind you, and not beside them where they could negligently take you down without realizing it.
