IS that rhetorical also, or do you want an answer?

Also, this is on a rural road, where wildlife like deer etc is a very real danger. I'd prefer to be in different lanes, if I was behind someone.

As a courtesy(in my mind) I did not want to be in front of him in the same lane when the other one was completely open. If it were me, I'd prefer if the other driver was not in front of me in the same lane. In this scenario, I didn't really care which lane was which, but he was in the right so I stayed in the left.
If anyone had caught up to us. I absolutely would've got into the right lane. Had he pulled into the left lane behind me I would've got into the right lane.

whatever, drive however you like and I'll keep driving how I like., and continue to speed, tailgate, and drive in the left lane when no one else is around, except for one other vehicle in the right lane.
