If the tables were turned - and I was on my bike passing a slow moving road user - I would have done the exact same thing. Probably would have given a hand signal but not necessarily if the road surface was contaminated or I needed both hand to brake and downshift before the turn.

I seem to remember a clip here where a pickup truck passed a cyclist and got rear-ended for stopping at the next red light. Everybody was all up in arms about that too. Motorists just can't win sometimes.

Do you think that driver somehow slighted you, effected you, or endangered you, or were you just offended that he broke the law right in front of you?

Personally I love people who look interested in A. Getting somewhere, and B. Getting the Hell out of my way.

Forgive me for being desensitized to such maneuvers by motorists. If I sent a video clip to the news every time I saw someone go right on red without a stop or a signal I would need to start my own personal newspaper or TV network. I see that 10 times a day on a GOOD day. I really don't see a problem with it other than being visually offensive to tender sensibilities.
