I was puzzling over this.  Imagine my surprise when I Googled "self-consciousness", and got this definition on Wikipedia:  
"
Self-consciousness is an 
acute sense of self-awareness. It is a preoccupation with oneself, as opposed to the philosophical state of 
self-awareness, which is the awareness that one exists as an individual being ..."
And I resemble that remark, so I made a snarky comment, which I thought at the time was more on topic.  
So which was it?  Was I actually exhibiting signs of my self-admitted self-consciousness?  Or was the person who made the comment really just deflecting attention from their own  self-consciousness, in hopes that I might shut up?
I won't even go into someone posting with unattributed sources.  This is a hobby board, not a masters thesis.  And it's an interesting response on a number of levels.  
This might be a good topic for a Co-ed thread:  "Self-consciousness in the hobby, how has it affected you?"
Anyone want to kick it off?  I don't want to be the one to do that, because people might think that I'm self-conscious about my self-consciousness.
