Yes, I knew it was a call out for humility, yet there was a back story to it as well and @dollarvigilante was not here during the relevant weeks in history of steemit. I simply shared so he'd have some historical context.
I am fine with how he did things. I also was not concerned about whether he humble himself or not. I do know why @stellabelle suggested it. There were people flagging likely due to perceived conceit/arrogance.
I agree with you though. This is more tasteful than emulating someone else. The fact he even did it on snapchat is pretty humbling. :)
