He's talking about a zipper merge. That is not the correct way to execute a zipper merge. The correct way to zipper merge is for the car merging into traffic to proceed to the end of the acceleration lane, and the car in the travel lane to let them in. If you're trying to block people who are doing a zipper merge correctly, you're the one causing the problem.

ETA: The funny thing about what you say you're doing is that if you stick your car out there, all the next guy has to do is go around you and plant their car in front of you. Since you're sticking out, you give him the opportunity to get his front end in front of yours, so that you can't move forward without letting him in first. LOL. You lose.
