I guess your goal here is to out-rude the person who won't go away, and you seem to have succeeded, congratulations.
Personally, I try to avoid confrontations in life -- too many crazy people out there with guns. You may get to meet one of them sometime, and I wish you luck in THAT confrontation.
For those who think that they have a right to all the adjoining machines when they sit down to play and want to be alone, with "hundreds" for the new player to choose from -- what's the big deal with getting up yourself and taking one of those other machines among the "hundreds" -- sure, you were there first, but the new player has every right to any machine they want, for whatever reason.
Now, if they start following you around when you move, that's another story.
