Why do these guys think that can force someone to move over by crawling up their ass and sitting there for 4 miles while waving their arms and flashing their lights?

Keep a safe distance, wait for the right lane to clear, change lanes and pass him. Is it the safest and right thing to do, well probably not according everything we've been told.

Youtube is full of dashcam videos of left lane bullies losing the battle of the left lane.
You're absolutely correct, unless the highway density is akin to I-75 in SWF. In that case, it's the person lollygagging in the left lane that's the bully. Instead of moving to the right, speed unchanged, they force everyone to pass them by threading a limited opening using excessive speed.

The net is that loitering in the left lane creates an unsafe situation for everyone, including the loitering driver. Just move over. Be at least as courteous as you want others to be.
