If not, what is the point of getting bent out of shape? Or do you just waste energy on such matters just for the sake of doing so?
What would you have done if Bush threw up the pinky at his inaguration? Is Bush expected to know that the pinky sign is AKA property? What is the point of getting upset over something that the majority of America could care less about?
Bush and an Asian GLO aren't the same thing. He's one person. They are a group.

Any GLO that uses a hand sign has or should have a meaning behind it. I believe that this GLO might feel rather stupid if they knew they were using someone else's hand sign. Unless they're doing it on purpose - which is a whole other matter.

Another NPC has recently been using a "purpose" phrase very similar to my NPC's motto since 1901. Does this tick me off? Yes. Did I get steamed when I first saw it? Yes. Am I having daily fits about it? No. Am I mentioning when I see a member use it "hey, that's really similar to our motto, ya know"? Oh HECK yes. Because if they don't know, they should.

We're talking about an INITIAL reaction that a member had and wanted to share with his fellow members. It's not like he said he was going to go and shoot their puppies or something.
