Also, if we want more people cross posting good content, we will want to be cognizant that the Forum reader was not the original intended audience for crossposted material. So the cost/benefit analysis could be different for the original audience (although I suspect it was not materially different here).
My criticism is not specific to the forum at all; the claim is false and pointlessly alienating no matter where it is posted. Also, I don’t think we should allow people to ‘sneak’ poor behaviour into the forum via a backdoor.
