I just might move to FL where the riders drop off then say "My bad"!
If you had been in Florida, the guy would have told you that he wasn't technically drafting and that you should just lighten up.
I had one guy actually cut off Cheri to jump on my wheel...then kept blocking her from passing him - at least till his wheel touched mine and he fell down and went boom...I had to check my brakes and didn't realize that he was too busy looking back at her to notice.
