So it seems a little "notice me senpai!" now, that's all. Just looking to get their attention I guess. Carry on.

Your point is weird. It wasn't a subject of conversation before because the situation hadn't come up. For what it is worth he's getting a bit of criticism for this in more than one place. I don't think it has anything to do with the fact he posts here - and I'm not sure why you would assume it does.
What he posted is a far cry from "Good article on the small part I played in catching this guy" or "Our followers were a part of this!". No it was proclaiming loudly "I DID THIS".
Moreover, there's another part of this that doesn't sit well with me - in this case it worked out well - but there are really valid and good reasons why the media and police don't plaster images for people all over the place saying "this guy did this" unless they know for sure. There is a standard that must be reached to protect all of us. There have been situations of innocent people being victimized by internet justice. So when he says "we can do what we want" in the article he's basically admitting not not having those same standards. That's dangerous.
Glad it worked out here.
Anyways I just think people are having a hard time swallowing the complete lack of humility from him.
Nothing to do with CP though.
