    To clarify, let's take a look at the actual rule: "Expressions that compel a playing style."
    Then we're left with the old "Since only communication is punishable, just kick immediately to ensure there is no context from which intent may be inferred, since blanket reasons for a kick (including "Differing Playstyles) are always protected." Great.

    Of the above two polite statements, the first comes closer to being an expression that compels a play style as it is telling others what to do while the second is a personal statement.
    Equally:
    "Myself and the remainder of the party apart from you want X."
    "That's nice but I want Y and I have control by default so... /shrug."

    So which is more thoroughly compelling one's play style upon others?

    No, I get it. The second is protected on a technicality and asking for the odd man out not to force their play style on others is against the ToA. I get that. But that's also complete rubbish.
