Well then that guy was a fucking moron

So I ease off the gas and as soon as I can move over to the right. (Note, I was keeping up with the traffic in the left lane, I just wasn’t riding their ass considering we’re lined up as far as the eye can see)

Cool, you're all good then. Keep doing that.

The vast majority of the time when someone complain about some maniac behind them trying to pass, it's because they're just tooling around in the fast lane and they have personally decided that no car must be allowed to go faster than them.

I agree that people need to move the fuck over when there's someone behind them, but if the person behind ends up brake checking them that will discourage them from moving over in the future. ("Why should I let this guy pass just so he can brake check me like the last asshole I let pass?")

There's also the situation where the road is only one lane so you can't exactly "move over".
