I think people like him can be a bit of a gem. Only once though
Until you have them in your face and in your space, especially in the public arena, you will never have the opportunity to see how you feel and respond to what happened in that moment.
Thankfully, he wasn't violent, or ver-bully abusive and you had other people around you. He was rude and seemingly wanted a reaction out of you through his confrontation of accusation.
I'd just keep an eye out for a second comeback - if you see him in your reading space again, you don't have to interact with him at all.
He wont be the last.
I wrote about a similar situation some years ago on the forum - I don't know what thread its in now, but I was reading at one of our towns Magic Winter festival Event days and a woman (who didn't even want a reading) came directly over to my reading table to specifically tell me I needed a sign to say "For entertainment Purposes Only". My straight-faced comeback... "I'm not here to entertain you".
Never saw her again LOL.
