I think you really have to be able to take it and make your own case, insult or not. There are many people who make these kinds of 'insults' without being anonymous. So what would you do if you knew the name of the person? Threaten him? I think that the post was polemic and satirical. We both know what it was referring to. I can only repeat: make your own case. What I am pointing out is that the anonymous status in this group is essential. Good point. Not too many people post here using their real names. So what if the guy had posted it himself using a handle, rather than my having posted it. Would it have been any less anonymous?
