Thank you for taking the time to respond, though our understandings of acceptable online standards of behaviour clearly differ. I felt that I should at least report the remark, even if you chose to take it no further.

Please don’t visit the tubeless thread

It's way over the top as a response to your question. I agree with you and was motivated to chime in so you don't appear alone in your opinion. Tester is one of the top posters around here, so I interpret it as humour that didn't hit home.

It sounds harsh, but he's just referencing the title of the tubeless tyres thread: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/282074/
In that context I imagine it was meant to be a joke.

Unsure what you're expecting here... a reply with a couple of swear words is hardly flaming, spamming, or trolling.
Sure it's a shit response, and perhaps he was having a bad day.
This forum doesn't prohibit swearing though, and unless there's a lot more context a single reply is hardly bullying or flaming. There's no physical threats here, no encouragement to harm... just a person appearing to have a bad day who vented a bit online, and then you've taken offense and you expect... ?
Generally this place is what we make it, and this isn't reflective of tester's character in general so looks like an outlier event. In that reading I don't buy that it's violating a rule... it's just an unkind response. Your choice is to interpret the message with kindness and be generous, or perhaps you're having a bad time too and so it feels hard for you and that isn't where your head is at... that's OK, everyone has a tough time... and if people do get to you, put them on ignore, i.e. visit his profile https://www.lfgss.com/profiles/55593/ and click "ignore" and you will never have to see their posts again.
If you think I've got this wrong... fine... but I won't be changing the forum moderation to be hyper sensitive to this stuff as I've done that in the past on other sites I've run and what it does is bury the real bullying and malicious behaviour such that it cannot be addressed. On this site we leave most things and draw the lines where it goes into actual discrimination, physical threats, illegal behaviour... or someone is contributing almost exclusively negativity, i.e. only present on 1-2 threads, recently registered, and just causing arguments everywhere.
For what you've reported, this is not going to result in any action on my part.
