You have it spot on. I've no desire to tow anyone who might be putting me at risk.
ETA - Tell me why I would.

sure, but maybe having a word, or just letting them pass if they were riding like dicks might have been slightly less aggressive?
personally if i roll up behind someone on a commute (or other ride for that matter), i tend to say hello.
if they don't respond then either pass or drop back a bit. it's not that important to get in front - leave the MGIF mentality to the idiot drivers. -
My view would be you either have the strength to drop them or you pull over and let them pass and then ride as you wish if you don't want them on your wheel. To purposefully try and brake test someone into crashing is pretty irresponsible to be honest.
Anyway its genuinely opened my eyes that people might have a problem with towing folk on commutes. I'd just assumed we're all trying to get home as quick as possible so any help sharing the wind is appreciated. But each to their own.
I'm also not talking about drafting through traffic but my commute has some good long stretches of junction free roads where you're often ahead of the cars.

hopefully i'm misunderstanding, or you're telling a funny joke...but you purposefully made riders behind you crash because they were on your wheel?
