Flybymike, you are kidding, right? If you cannot takeoff on reaching the holding point because of checklists, run ups or whatever, park to the side and let the others through. Why make them wait? When did that airport become your property?
I was parked to the side, which is how he had room to move past me. I had just completed checks and was about to line up when he pushed past me with no comment. I consider that rude and dangerous.

I am amazed also at pilots who think they can enter a runway then hold while completing checks,
I had not entered the runway and did not say that I had.

And how did that airplane landing behind you affect you, in any way?
He landed by cutting in front of me by flying an unannounced abbreviated circuit behind me (effectively an orbit above the airfield at a couple of hundred feet.) As well as cutting in front of me he might well have been turning back against landing traffic behind him.

If I failed to make myself clear in my original post I apologise. If I did make myself clear, please read my posts more carefully before criticising them.
