I'm returning the 'compliment' of your recent dislike to my comment on a profile post written last June
Profile posts are not private messages. They can be seen by all members and replied to by anyone.
I made the following comment in the profile post
Almost 11 months later, you noticed the post and 'disliked my comment'
That seems to confirm that the OP would probably have got a faster response by posting in a forum thread rather than a profile post.
Private messages are indeed private and moderators have no access to anyone's private messages.
In my view an apology from you would be appropriate.
I have also reported your post to the moderators
