CB - this is the only way I can contact you, since while I/POL have received your report, I can't reply to complaints on that page, only interact with the post complained of, which in this case I did by a reply on the forum. I don't think - though I take your point - that a post you complained of breaches the forum's guidelines. You may well take issue with it, but this would perhaps be better dealt with by a reply to the person to whose post you object than by reporting it, since the only options available are to remove the post, remove it and ban the user, or try to tone it down by a subsequent comment.
I appreciate that you might not want to get into an argument about it on the forum, but moderation here is intentionally light. If you would like to email Dawn Farley - who unlike me is a member of staff - by clicking on the envelope symbol at the top right of the screen, she can over-rule me, or if appropriate "have a word".
