Sadly I have to agree with you, when you're in the spotlight like that you have to realise that your actions ripple outwards and drive the behaviour of susceptible recipients. One can argue "he's just a guy, he did something stupid, probably thought it was funny at the time" but that argument falls flat when you consider that some people will use that as an excuse to imitate the behaviour. Even if you're not a creep yourself, the "I was just messing around" excuse isn't good enough when it might enable real creeps to do the same.
