I believe that would be Chapter 13: Encouraging, Sharing and Responding to Dissension. :-) Flipping through the book, I see repeating themes as they touch on the different communites (mailing lists, newsgroups, chat communities, etc). Things like stay on-topic, no ads if ads are not allowed, all stuff you and I know by rote. Since the moderator of this list has already declared the post on-topic, then AFAIC, the situation is resolved (the book recommends respecting the wishes of your community moderators, again, common sense stuff). Personally, if I had not heard about and obtained the book through other means, I would have been interested in the message and as a result, interested in inquiring on how to get my hands on a copy of the book. The book is pretty basic. Most of it is stuff I already know. But there are bits here and there of unfamiliar territory and those are the things I'm interested in reading and learning about. (does this qualify as a review?)
