This is paternalistic nonsense. It's "I'm right, you're wrong, you need to change what you're doing even though I am so far in the minority they're literally making what I'm doing illegal." I distinctly remember a time when I was a passenger with a friend's mother, who was going the speed limit in the left lane. Wide open in front of her, a line of 15+ cars behind her. She actually said "I'm going fast enough, you all can wait." The level of self-importance in such a statement, when it would cost you nothing just to get over and let people be on their way, is absolutely staggering.
And for what it's worth, there are several states where there are explicit exceptions to briefly exceed the speed limit for the purposes of passing vehicles in the right lane - some specify they have to be going under the speed limit, but not all.
