This is a good point. Obviously there are a lot of people here who are very familiar with each other and it's annoying when someone just swoops in and says, "Oh man, I took down that early Pick 4 at Saratoga, the Chad Brown horse was a cinch." Your first inclination is to tell them, really, could you have mentioned that somewhere before the race, jackass?
However, when someone comes on and says (i.e. Pat Cummings' superfecta in the Derby), "I made the bet of a lifetime and got very lucky" it's a lot tougher to say to him, you redboarding dog turd.
So, basically, IMO, it's whether you go about it in a disingenuous way. Do I have animosity towards any people who come on and say they hit something, particularly something big? No. But if they do it in a way that comes off as "look at me, I'm the best handicapper evar" then I will certainly get annoyed because the same way they posted that they won, they could have posted who they liked.
