I remember that beekeeping post. It insulted other commenters which is why it got flagged, as that goes against the TOS/site rules.
The mods disagree with you. They have stated more than once that it is there preference that we flag, but do not engage. If you have issues with those policies, I would suggest taking it up with them.
You might try looking at the last comment in that thread for an answer to your questions.
