Narrative:

Aircraft X (me) was holding short runway 15 at kads on taxiway J when aircraft Y elected to attempt to pass me on the single-lane taxiway a; off of which I was turned onto taxiway J. The airplane did not have room to pass. Electing to remain holding short runway 15; I did not move forward to allow the passage of aircraft Y (which would have resulted in a runway incursion generated by me). Aircraft Y's decision to attempt passage on the taxiway resulted in his left wing scraping over the top of my right wing. Aircraft Y was determined to be airworthy following the 'paint exchange' and departed kads; safely. The taxiway incursion was not reported to addison tower due to extremely high volumes of critical radio communication as the airport was extremely busy at the time.
