I agree with zincwarrior's enumerated advice, but having had a knucklehead or two pull such stunts on me back when I rode, I agree with the OP that it was not unreasonable to feel threatened - after multiple, unsuccessful attempts to get the guy to pass or back off.
To be clear I am not attempting to attack the poster. I just believe this was not wise and could have resulted in a far more injurious result. Brandishing is the least of negative events that could have occurred. Being on a bike you are at a natural disadvantage vs. a vehicle. On the other hand your evasion / hard break and bail option is much greater.

Also agree with AK's comment on better gear.
