Not specifically, no.  I'm interested in the discussion at hand.
Why are you putting my name in quotes?

I don't claim that these people don't exist, but you make it sound
as if you're constantly having to avoid these drivers that are so
obviously out to get you.  I just happen to think this isn't so.  I
have been in the situation where someone drove too close to me, too,
and it's really easy to think "man, I could have sworn that guy
looked in his rearview mirror and laughed", but if you're really
objective about it you will realize that that's the result of being
in a vulnerable position at the mercy of someone else.  Sometimes
there is some truth to it, most of the time there is not.  If you're
that sensitive about it, maybe you shouldn't put yourself in that
situation.
