You did the right thing to wave him off and move on. If it bothers you to have a wheel sucker just keep doing what you did, or slow down so they will pass you. There are worse things out there than wheel suckers, but make the best judgement for you.
Nice thing is, that most of the time if someone without the skill to wheelsuck tries to do it...odds are 9 out of 10 in a wheel touch they are going to eat the pavement, while you keep on riding.
