Ghilis,
Actually it is more that those that are padding their block time or engaging in a slow down think it is okay to involve others in their "games." Even if it is legitimate (i.e. ATC release, etc.), taxi at your own pace without involving others as many do by moving aside (thank-you AA73 for offering to do so). It is simply the unselfish thing to do. Besides I would bet they don't taxi so slow when it is their last leg home.
