Narrative:
2 airplanes approached lnc from north, second plane 4 mi behind first. Landing on 13. First plane flown by reporter, second by mr. X. First plane flew to crosswind, downwind, base, final. Second plane announced 5 mi final. First plane informed second plane on unicom (CTAF) that he was turning base, was inside and below second aircraft. Second aircraft said first aircraft could circle. First plane landed ahead of second plane, which circled for spacing! Pilot of second plane stated, in heated discussion on ground, that he 'could do anything he wanted at an uncontrolled airport. He didn't have to fly the pattern.' in hindsight I should have pulled out of the pattern, even though I had legal landing rights, rather than let the joker get close to me.

Title: 2 ACFT APCHING NON TWR ARPT. 1 IN PROPER PATTERN ENTRY, SECOND STRAIGHT IN. CONFLICT ON FINAL.
Narrative: 2 AIRPLANES APCHED LNC FROM N, SECOND PLANE 4 MI BEHIND FIRST. LNDG ON 13. FIRST PLANE FLOWN BY RPTR, SECOND BY MR. X. FIRST PLANE FLEW TO XWIND, DOWNWIND, BASE, FINAL. SECOND PLANE ANNOUNCED 5 MI FINAL. FIRST PLANE INFORMED SECOND PLANE ON UNICOM (CTAF) THAT HE WAS TURNING BASE, WAS INSIDE AND BELOW SECOND ACFT. SECOND ACFT SAID FIRST ACFT COULD CIRCLE. FIRST PLANE LANDED AHEAD OF SECOND PLANE, WHICH CIRCLED FOR SPACING! PLT OF SECOND PLANE STATED, IN HEATED DISCUSSION ON GND, THAT HE 'COULD DO ANYTHING HE WANTED AT AN UNCTLED ARPT. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO FLY THE PATTERN.' IN HINDSIGHT I SHOULD HAVE PULLED OUT OF THE PATTERN, EVEN THOUGH I HAD LEGAL LNDG RIGHTS, RATHER THAN LET THE JOKER GET CLOSE TO ME.
