Mr. Hsiung,
You wrote,[...please rephrase that...]
Now to {rephrase} generally means to write it over so that it is {clearer}.
I can not understand why you have asked for the member here to do that. If you could post your rationale for that here, then I could have the opportuniity to respond accordingly.
Now if you have a different definition of {rephrase} so that what is what it is then is not, then what is seen is what is seen and we got what we got or not.
Now if it says what it says, and you are asking the poster to rewrite the statement so that it then can not be seen, then would not the statement in toto have to be redacted? If not, how could what is seen be not seen?
If the statement has to be rewritten so that what it is is not, then could not the request from you be changed to ,{please redact that}? But could not the statement be deleted then before any request to the poster then and there could be {redacted by the owner/operator) posted by you?
This then INHO leads me to think that the member asked to rephrase be exempted from the request, for I see any rephrasing as a redaction. Instead, I think (redacted by respondent) because what you got you got.
