Narrative:

On dec/wed/03, I was giving flight instruction to a student pilot at cable airport in upland, ca. The area had very few aircraft flying when the lesson on lndgs started but became busy as the time went on. We found ourselves in the pattern trailing about 1 mi behind a C172 and another cessna aircraft was behind us. With a few other aircraft in the pattern, a flight of 5 experimental rv's report entering the overhead approach from the north. While on final, I was busy giving instructions to my student and looking for other traffic and I momentarily lost visual contact with the C172 when we were on short final for runway 24. When we were over the threshold I saw that the C172 had landed and stopped on the left edge of the runway to allow a multi-engine aircraft to taxi by. I noted that the C172 began to move forward to the taxiway, so I continued to instruct my student through the touchdown. The C172 was approximately 2000 ft away when we landed and both aircraft were on the runway for no more than 3 seconds. The C172 was clear and my student executed a touch and go. A safety counselor that was in the C172 commented on the radio that we should not have landed. Upon completion of the flight lesson, I talked things over with my student and we thought that although our actions were safe and presented no harm to the C172, that a go around might have been a better decision. I later called the safety counselor on the phone to talk things over with him. He started the conversation with threatening that he could be very mean to me. I tried to explain things from my point of view and he did not allow me to continue. I asked him as to which far I had broken and he said I could look it up myself. He became angry, called me stupid, and told me he was an airline pilot with lots of experience. He demanded my full name and I did not give it to him. After another vulgar remark to me, I ended the phone call. The entire event has bothered me and so I decided to report it.
