It certainly isn't a crime. But it's a bit like thread hijacking

You're certainly not. I can't tell you how many times I've carefully
replied to someone with inline quoting, only to get some top post
response. I then ask them politely not to top post, fix the format,
reply, and get another top post reponse.
At that point I just move on to the next thread.
The funniest is when that second top post response is "What's a top
post?"
