Because it's frequently the case that moderators issue decrees of various sorts about others' arguments, about their behaviour, and about their true intentions - for no other discernible reason in the thread than to disparage another poster's person, message or posting style.
Which I take to be either 1. a personal insult, or 2. a moderator's request to stop breaking the rules. Can you tell which is the correct one? I cannot.

If you have any doubts as to whether a moderator is expressing a personal opinion or declaring something as a moderator, feel free to ask for clarification from me. I'll be happy to help.

And therefore I ask that more care should be taken with "moderating" of that sort, if I cannot actually be allowed to ignore it altogether. Your opinions about my true intentions are of course interesting enough - but not relevant.

Forgive my paranoia if it's misplaced. It's not completely unwarranted, as people making suggestions to the moderator team as a way to insult us is nothing new.
As I said, feel free to contact any moderator if you need clarification. I will always be more than happy to help you out.
