This guy witnessed it and called you on it, but somehow there's a debate about whether or not he "should have been there", which is a bit victim shame-y to me. I mean, he did end up riding through your snot, whether you meant to hit him or not, or whether he notified you of his presence or not.
It's normal to do gross stuff where no one is there to watch it--it's why bathrooms have doors.
No way is the guy complaining a " victim." If you wheel suck unannounced, you can't expect the lead rider to be considerate of you as there's no warning that the lead rider should. It's also a safety hazard--the lead rider may have to respond to obstacles that the following rider can't see because their view is obstructed by the lead rider.
