Just be safe on the road and keep riding. It is not worth telling somebody anything. It is a waste of your time and theirs. Just keep riding on the street and say off the sidewalks and away from the curbs. Cyclists move slower than traffic, most of the time. It is only naturally for an occasional driver to get angry because it slowed him down. Accept it and move on.
