The Report Abuse button seems like it was just recently added, in the past day. It was not present when the tool was originally released.

I'll take your word for it; it's pretty shocking that it wasn't there from day one. As I've written elsewhere, it seems like Genius's vision of universal annotations is not really lined up with the/my/some tech folks platonic ideal of it - Genius seems to want to extend RapGenius to the rest of the web to enable a mix of both factual and editorial commentary, whereas the aforementioned ideal would be much more focused on fact checking, not just providing a universal commenting layer.

It's clearly a grayer issue than I first comprehended when writing my initial response to your work; I apologize for my strongly negative tone.
