The point is that you cannot cite an endorsement without permission, PERIOD. If he paraphrased us that is one thing, but no, he put a link and stated that we "know our stuff". Thus, we are endorsing his instrument whether we want to or not. It does affect our willingness (or at least mine) to help anyone in the future who comes here looking for information. This sort of activity can undermine the very foundation of this and other public forums.
