Typically, it's not a big enough deal to trouble a moderator with. It's not one person attacking another, rude or offensive behavior or somebody picking a fight. Moderators are going to tend to focus their efforts on those sorts of things of course.
You just end up with a whole lot of people (see the last couple posts) who are responding to a post and circumstance that hasn't been checked on by the Original Poster for close to 2 years. It's still useful for discussion's sake, but in a case where the OP was asking for advice, people are firing back advice that the OP will probably never see. Almost like writing letters and mailing them to a person who's dead -- it could be seen as a waste of time and effort.
I'm mostly pointing out how it's usually done to avoid the confusion.
