Honestly, if you were going to go there and needed an approach that didn't also appear dickish and passive-aggressive (because yours did), a PM to Geoff himself might've been the better means of doing so. "Hey, forum mod, do you realize you're a passive-aggressive dick" probably isn't a discussion anyone wants to have out front in any guise.
