One can hardly blame you. I know a few people who have had this happen to them and they all say the same thing, which is that it's just not the first thing that it occurs to you to do when you're still dazed and shaken up from having been knocked off your bike.
Also, most of the people I know, particularly bikers, are just not very aggressive people to begin with, which is generally a good thing, but it also means that it does not immediately occur to them to become confrontational (even if that might be the best thing to do in the moment).
I hope you're okay. And if you are, don't feel bad. I think most of us have made this mistake at least once already. :-)
