No, I didn't get a "hand slap"; but when confronted with the request to copy a pattern and give it to someone it didn't sit well. I requested and received confirmation of my concern from one of the moderators of this board. Quilters are, for the majority, a honest ethical group and the members of this board prove that every day.
