This is the most common debate - some people believe some roads are fine to coast in the left lane. Other think that as long as someone is trying to pass you, in any road, you move over to the right lane. You basically let everyone pass, if that is what they want to do, on any road. You will find this argument everywhere, even in Calgarypuck.
Often the best suggestion to a driver is to simply get out of the way of a raging driver. Usually this means to stay out of the left lane.

A merge is different from a lane change, as there are responsibilities on both cars involved. The car merging has to get up to speed in their merge lane, and the cars on the road being merged into should adjust to create space for the merging car.
Why was I asking these questions? The OP stated he sped up when the other car signalled to merge, when he may have made a different decision to slow a bit to make space. If you read the OP there were questions that I thought were worth asking.
The second statement was that he was being tailgated in the left lane, when I suggested he let people pass if he is in the left lane.
Instead, I mostly got insulted by OP. But thanks for actually discussing this!
