I saw the post report. I am not the only moderator in GQ, but this is why I personally took no action on it.
In GQ, we allow threads to wander a bit from the OP once the question has been factually addressed, and in this case, the question had been very thoroughly answered by Freddy the Pig’s post. Hari Seldon was replying to that post and was clearly expressing his opinion in his response. While the voter ID portion of the comment is something that is probably better suited for Great Debates, the shift in the Republican and Democratic parties with respect to blacks is factual, easily cited, and has been discussed in GQ before. The post wasn’t entirely off-topic for GQ.
If the post had caused the thread to veer off into a discussion about voter ID and modern politics, then I would have stepped in. As it was, I felt that the post, while not ideal for GQ, did not require any moderator intervention at that point.
