You keep using the word casual here, but what exactly do you mean by that?
The statement seemed anything but casual. It has likely been worked on and vetted by multiple people, and while it does have a somewhat breve and light tone, I don't think that qualifies for 'casualness'. For a statement meant for a broad audience, the tone seems appropriate enough.
- danielmarkbruce 4y agoIt's a blog post. It has a breve and light tone. There aren't many ways to make it more casual. Perhaps a tweet? Legal threats shouldn't be made this way, especially by a government toward citizens.
- simple-thoughts 4y agoMost people don’t understand how regulatory agencies actually operate (banditry), but most people do vote. So they have conflicting goals; on the one side, they need to create a paper record so that judges will approve their future banditry, but on the other side they need to disguise their intentions from the public. This blog post by the FTC is unusually well done and effectively meets both goals, so I disagree with you that the threats shouldn’t be made this way as it is clearly in their own benefit to do so.
