I think also what was in play here. imo, is that, though members might copy something for their own use... into a PM to themselves or to remember something good...or even to link it in a PM to another member here so they can find it and be helped too... they don't publicize the fact that they did it... it's a quiet event.
It's not only the fact that it was blatantly bragged about, but that no understanding of how doing so upset other members here is what added to the upset, imo. It may also have triggered some into remembering another event earlier this year, and fearing the same outcome.
