“The best reason not to involve the criticised person or org is if doing so would in practice stop you from posting your criticism. You can always ask the mod team for support if this is the case. Simply email forum...”
One of the biggest reasons I’ve considered, is just time delay. Posts on the forum disappear from the front page quickly, and memory fades quckly as well. For example right now I’m about to post a response to RP’s great analysis on Health Systems Strengthening interventions. Only part of is is criticism and not really very heavy. I probably won’t send it to them because I think I need to give 3 days really for a fair response, and its already over a week after the initial post so I’m already late.
If most of it was criticism, I would send it to them first
This is a tricky one with no clear solutionI don’t think
Yep, I think that’s fair, and that’s part of why these are general practices that we’ll be trying to promote/ helping happen rather than strong norms we would moderate. Getting a response isn’t always a reasonable ask, but if I can, I’d like to lower friction for Forum authors.

I’m not familiar with the context, but my comment might address this sort of situation.
