Maybe. He reported what he had done on this particular climbing forum and I presume in person to others.
He has no control over how people react to what he has done.
Some may applaud him for his action, others maybe indifferent, others will disagree with what he has done.
Quite often as happens in climbing is that those who disagree with his actions will claim that there is a concensus of opinion against him.
Some may pat him on the back, some will say nothing, others will call him names and others will label him, selfish and self-centered.
But to say his motivation is to "wind" people up is pure guesswork. It may be correct, it may be incorrect.
He has presented a fairly solid argument for what he has done, even if you disgree with his reasoning or his action.
