Just to clarify something: There is no such thing as "self-plagiarism" just like there's no such thing as "self-escrowing". If you copy/paste or repost something that you, yourself, have written it is by definition not plagiarism. So please, let's stop repeating this meaningless phrase.
Although I'd love to agree with you, my university sees it otherwise, and if I ever want to get my MD, I do have to dance to their tune.
However, even if we call it a different thing, the definition would fit just right in this context: "Quoting you own work over and over again in order to get more citations" (or in this case, merits).
