If it violates the TOS have at it, there is a small triangle icon at the bottom of each post for reporting purposes, otherwise, if you are only offended, that's up to you to deal with.

Ignore Ahso's post, his last two clauses are entirely wrong. It's against the terms of service to "act in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to engage in forum discussions or real time exchanges", and making a post which offends another member to that extent is a breach. You need to ask yourself whether the post is that bad and, if you decide it is, then you need to say so in your report otherwise the Moderators won't know - they're neither psychic nor necessarily bright enough to work it out.

Clicking the triangle to the right of "Blog This Post" asks you for your reason for reporting and then tells all the moderators what you've said. The triangle applies to the post above it on the screen, not the one below.

I stand corrected. My apology.
