Why is such a big deal about re-releases? Yes, a re-release should be indicated as a re-release and the original release should be acknowledged. That does not justify jumping all over someone who posts a re-release. He/She is only trying to help. I don't believe anyone posting a re-release is trying to steal the original poster's thunder. People are busy and sometimes cannot devote enough time to look for old releases. In addition, the search engine is not precise and sometimes returns too many hits, making it difficult to find a specific thread.

Could we show a bit more patience, please? IMHO, something along the line "Thank you for the upload. However, I should mention that this is a re-release and the original release was <URL>. Please try to acknowledge the original release in future re-releases." might be more appropriate in polite company; this is, generally speaking, a polite forum.
