Not exactly just because he didn't post a link. The responses were due as much if not more to his attitude.
As for the forum rules, going round and round about "how things are usually done here" is one thing. Copyright infringement is another, and is a matter that the owner of this site has specifically said is not allowed, and for good reason. I can tell you that I for one wouldn't have responded the way I did had the OP not kept trying to justify what could have just been a slip-up with "I got it from a website," "What's the big deal?," and "Who cares?"
And as for caring about the list that was posted:

So no, I don't care about this list, anymore than I care about any other "Top Whatever" list. They have about as much worth in my estimation as a typical "Who's Who."
