Do you think they can be trusted not to take some sort of action that might take the whole situation and process out of OP's control have a lot of unintended consequences? I feel like one's plea that they not act upon it has a lot of risk of being overruled, or 'act' having some multitude of interpretations. Your suggestion makes some sense in terms of trying to get ahead of thing in case they spiral out of control for some other reason but it could result in these 3rd parties making things so much worse for everyone even if he has no ill will from the outset.
