I was certainly riding a little quickly, but at the same time filtering and being exposed suddenly does usually make me want to up my speed, so I can get past ASAP and back to 'safer' parts of the road. I wasn't that annoyed by the maneuver, just the attitude of the van driver. Drivers hate filtering as it reminds them of their own limitations, even in the mighty, godlike motorcar that should be worshiped.
I suppose they want us toi sit politely behind them, in congestion that have 0% to do with us
