I can't speak for everyone, obviously, but I had a problem with it because the Cellar is a community of people. If someone just somes along and posts a story that he also posts anywhere else, he's not really contributing to the community. He's (as wolf pointed out correctly) spamming the board.

Had he taken the time to get to know the community, he would have known how these posts would have been recieved. But he didn't take the time or effort, which again, comes off as simply spamming rather than being a part of the community.

We are cliquish, in the sense that we are a community of "intimate strangers". On the other hand, it's not hard to become part of the "clique". I don't think he wanted to be "part of the community", I think he wanted to post his stuff anywhere and everywhere, and we're not down with spam.
