I don't see it like that. If those in the RH lane were held up behind somebody who wanted to make a right turn but was not immediately able to do it, that was simply their misfortune.
MGF was merely passing on the left of stationary traffic, and not really in competition with those in the RH lane.
Perhaps you were joking?
Best wishes all,
