I think the reason the original post was treated harshly was that it was originally posted in Rumours and News at the top of the forums and that it seemed to imply that something very dangerous had been pointed out and ignored.
If there had been a single photo with just the question about how it's allowed to fly in that condition then i'm sure a more reasonable answer would have been forthcoming.
Personally if someone shouted over to me and pointed something like this out i'd be more than happy to pop over and explain the situation to them (assuming I had time) , better to have someone say something than keep shut and have something genuinely dangerous go unnoticed.
