Um, what she did was totally not okay. I work in marketing and fundraising and I use clients' quotes all the time, but I ALWAYS get permission first. Even if she removed your name, it's still a violation of your confidentiality. She should have asked you first, especially since you declined to take her class, it's almost like retribution or a passive-aggressive attempt to manipulate you into the class.

Allow yourself to calm down about it, but I would politely confront her and say "I asked you this question confidentially for a reason. I do not appreciate you publicizing my question without my permission. Or using me for marketing material when I have not consented as such."

And leave it at that. She'll either apologize or tell you to screw off, but at least you've spoken up for yourself.
