I do it for all the reasons you mentioned. Basically it just makes me feel better, because at least I had my say about their unsafe behavior. I'm very calm about it and never allow it to get me worked up. I'd feel a lot worse if I held it in. Is that bad?
No badder than the other jerk motorists who honk their horns at cyclists because it makes them feel better to express their displeasure at seeing such a "dangerous" activity as cycling in their presence. Talk about childish behavior!
