"DCX News:" in the subject is not an attribution. it could just as
easily be a generic term, since this is news concerning DC.

when quoting, proper attribution is required. proper attribution would
be leading this with something like "saw this in DCx news, though you
guys might be interested <linkey>"

You didn't do that. This was closer to plagiarism than attribution by
a long shot. Not cool. "mature individuals" properly attribute quoted
material.
