I think it is completely appropriate to bring this up in the forums. The idea that the only redress one might have for being treated unfairly is to remain quiet and deal with ti privatly is one I dislike a lot. The post was not strident. The post was not insulting. The post gave us at least a version of the facts. Why is it wrong to attempt to gain community support for ones position? While I fully understand that this is a private site and thus can set it's own rules it does at least pretend to be a community - so I think we absolutely should be allowed to talk among ourselves about the policies.
