We can make ourselves more or less conspicuous, but we don't get to choose when other people recognize us - by a wave, eye-contact or whatever. Sometimes they seem like an imposition, so I wouldn't say cheery greetings are in order all the time; it is OK to be contemptuous of other riders sometimes, and I'd say it's better to frown back than to purposefully ignore recognition.
It seems to me that those who refuse to recognize others and are contemptuous of recognition deserve to be abandoned to any ill fortune that may come their way - maybe we can be happy that they are the ones who suffer it. But I don't think any sane person is really all that antisocial; a lot of people just get tired of life.

Make eye contact as you pass them on the left. Leave them shaking in your trail as you drop the Mightiest of Hammers.
Then follow them to their car and stare at them until they leave, to ensure they understand you acknowledge them.
Proceed by pulling out a ziploc bag of spaghetti and promptly eating it. Ride home.

When "eye contact be made from cyclist to motorist.
As the cyclist must do so,so for assurance in being seen.

Haven't had this but I come across coyotes on a regular basis and can never figure out if eye contact is bad. The more eye contact, the closer they seem to come to me but none have tried to take me down yet. I worry if I don't make eye contact, they will ambush me especially because they are never alone
