If someone does something stupid, cutting someone off, blocking
traffic or other boneheaded maneuvers, you are perfectly within your
rights to blame them for the boneheaded maneuver.

What makes you think that acknowledging someone as an idiot requires a
physical reaction?  If you block me when you can easily move over,
I'll certainly consider you and several of your ancestors idiots, but
doing something about you beyond flashing my lights at you is likely
to get me involved in an accident, which is something I'm not willing
to risk.

Keep in mind that Matt drives a Miata, so I doubt he'll be using his
car as means of forcing anyone off the road...
