If I were an attorney, I would be more limited in what I could offer, at least if I wanted to protect my license. As a common citizen, I can review the standards that apply in the context of circumstances observed and ask how they compare without implying legal advice. One need not be an attorney to understand an average person's role in presenting information about a licensed professional to a review board.
If I were an attorney operating a web discussion about law for people with legal problems, in which my identity as an attorney was a standard feature of daily administrative processes, I would do so in the context of professional obligations that exceed those of others who operate a similar site but who are not lawyers.
