I bike , run and drive. I like being courteous to other people on the road. I think some of you go out of your way to be rude.
I agree with you; however, I think it is a very small percentage of cyclists who are intentionally rude to motorists (which I think you probably acknowledge since you said "some" of you guys).
I think some motorists who have interacted with rude cyclists come away with the impression that cyclists are generally inconsiderate (just as some cyclists hold all motorists or "cagers" in low regard) which is one downside to being needlessly obstructive.
