    I didn't specifically mean this case. :)

    "The reason is, as I already said, that there is no need to break up the first part of the sentence with another comma."

    Why wouldn't you? On what grammatical/comma rule ground? That is what I want to know and why would anybody?

    I normally would not put a comma there. My intention is more to find out what the exact/precise rule is, so I remember it better.

    Thanks in advance.

    What would be the comma rule for that?

    Thanks in advance.

    As TheParser explained, "I think, to solve the issue, you must reach out to the others in your community" if you use the commas before and after "to solve the issue", this clause explains why "I think you must reach out to the others in your community". Do you see?
