[rpd] Hierarchical AS-SETs objector analysis -> astroturfing

[Nia Petronella]

Dear Mike, Ben and Hendrik,

We are spending more time auditing prose than discussing policy.

Mike, you have already distinguished actual flooding from ordinary
AI-assisted writing. That should settle the tool question. Ben and Hendrik,
feeding messages into Claude does not establish authorship, coordination,
or bad faith. Claude is not a forensic authority, and a probability about
writing style is not evidence.

I choose the tools I use, I review what I submit, and I take responsibility
for it. If there is genuine flooding, impersonation, or abuse, the
co-chairs can address that conduct. If several messages repeat one concern,
they can consolidate the concern.

Neither situation gives individual participants authority to interrogate
contributors or treat unfamiliar voices as less legitimate. Turning
speculation about tools into a test of who may participate is not
moderation. It is gatekeeping dressed as process.

Please return to the policy itself.

Regards,
Nonhlanhla
