That "answer in an hour" thing is so ridiculous too. If I have to run some errand on the way home from work, it can take longer than an hour. Or if I'm working, cooking, out with my dog. It's irrational to expect someone to get back to you in an hour when they don't expect you contacting them.
Bingo. Write up your hit-piece, have it ready to go in the barrel of the CMS, shoot off the message to the person you're all-but-libeling, wait five minutes, and hit Publish:
"We reached out but have not received comment at the time of publication."

Its on purpose, so they can slap the "not reachable for answers" on it to make the person look bad.
