Default Rules of the water : Etiquitte

This is not to start a sheeet storm or who can post the best other guys an ass story but I am conflustered about drifting rules. This is not to name or blame and I assure you it was not a sponsor.
Set up on a fluke drift for 5 minutes out in Scotland area. No channels, no anchors. I look up and a party boat has pulled up from a distance to pull side ways in front of my drift. Within a minute this boat who was chasing blues has the entire side tossing metals off my anchor. Looking up I try to see if he will power off seeing the danger of the situation and that I didnt have my invisi bat ray on - I tried to get the captain on the radio and get his attention. He ignored both.
So the question is- who should move?
Should I be pissed?
I am sure he would have been pissed had I done it - and I do realize people do it all the time.....but what is right thing here.

The name of that boat says it all. He was doing the same thing at the mud buoy. Boat under power must give way.

Its not about party boats at all, personal craft do the same dumb thing. And yes the boat name speaks a bit about what to expect but ive been around the boat before and seems to keep his sheat together. I gave him ample time to power off.....

Did the same time to us on the mud buoy, we were barraged with 50 flying jigs. Typical new yorker.
