My beef is this: Let’s say there are two lanes and the speed limit is 70, and there’s a good bit of traffic, so not much opportunity to pass safely. The right lane is clogged with people driving at 65 mph, so I’m in the left lane. But I have a guy tailgating me in the left lane because my 75 mph is too slow to suit him. He is in a hurry and likes to do 85, and I am a problem.

Yes, you still need to move over, you cannot simply squat in the passing lane and force the world to comply with what ever speed you are deciding to enforce in the fast lane, on any given day.

Wrong. (1) It is unsafe to reenter the right lane when doing so means I have cut in front of someone. (2) Your 85 mph is way over the speed limit and unnecessary. Being in the left lane doesn't mean you get to plow others out of your way and create a hazardous situation on the highway. Slow down.
