Actually, there is no attack and your notion of "outrageous rhetoric" seems to be at odds with dictionaries and general population (but there is the delicious irony of you using such rhetoric in your own comment).

I observe he has a long standing relationship with developers and landlords from which he gains financially (= conflict of interest). I note that such conflicts should always be disclosed in a report so the reader can consider method and content in relation to context. I don't deny Mr. Clayton's right to produce the report, nor do I make any comment on the content. 

I don't otherwise know how to respond to your comment that can best be described as nasty without reason. Perhaps a nap might help.
