Nope, I didn't miss your point but you missed mine: Drop them, let them pass or deal.

If they are trying to ****/rob/murder/mug/etc. you then that's a completely different story and you need to do whatever it takes to get out of that situation and fast.

I completely understand someone close up on your wheel creating a dangerous situation if you stop short or something, again, that's when you wave them by you, call to them to back off your wheel or pull off the path to let them pass you but spitting in someone's face, farting purposefully or all of those other nasty things that some of the other posters mentioned aren't okay if the wheel sucker isn't putting you into a dangerous situation.

Just enjoy your ride. Wheel suckers be damned, LOL!
