This is all im going to say on this as you seem to just accept bad behavior as it's just the way it is and to bad for me if I don't just accept it. I could be mistaken on that but your reply suggests that that is the case.
Tim you just seem to be missing the point of my post and that was perhaps others might read it and say and think maybe just maybe I should be more aware and if I have the option give the other guy his space as I would hope he would do for me. To educate those who don't understand what their actions have on another fisherman. You seem to articulate that I should have no expectations to think I can't fish in a space any wider than my boat. And its ok for another boater to travel past me 100ft feet away at 50-60 mph. When he can merely turn his wheel slightly and give the other guy some room. It might add seconds to his travels especially when I'm out on the main body of a lake. That doesn't seem to be an unreasonable thought process on my part , or is it?
And if a striper fisherman cuts you off that's so wrong. But some maybe not all have been pulling bait on a course for a long way and. Your paths just meet up.
Its a chicken or the egg deal. Who was on path first. I troll lures for the most part at 1.5mph - 2.5mph so it's easier for me to move out of their way and reestablish my course past them. To me not a big deal. I do the same with bank beaters I loop out and around them.

And of course I have no plans of injuring another boater but you know we all get pissed when we are slighted by inconsiderate a holes. That was just me venting here
Fyi the fish I am fishing for are shallow they aren't coming to the surface where I am fishing. Please take my word that where and how im fishing another boater coming by like the ones I describe does have a negative impact to the fish I'm targeting Does it last for hours no its totally unnecessary

Good luck in Your fishing ventures.
