(13,485 posts)Too many points of separation. A poster is composing an idea. The poster doesn't have to make a judgment of removing his/her idea or leaving it, unless the poster makes that decision completely on her/his own after the fact. The poster has complete control of the idea without outside interference because it's automatic by design.
The alerter on the other hand is making a judgment of the posters idea or manner being out of bounds and is joined by jurors in making a judgment whether there should be outside intervention. Posters are posters and jurists are jurists and the alerter is making a judgment in the same manner as the jury. The poster is not making a judgment of their own post's bounds if they decide their post is relevant, they just post.
