What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

He should be clearer about what is prompting it, tbh. If some guy in Japan mailed them knives, or whatever, it has diddly squat to do with feedback on the forum (and elsewhere), which is how it tends to be misconstrued by some. Otherwise it just gives the impression that he's being deliberately vague and could be talking about anything. I'm not holding off on criticism because of a vague "pwease stop being nasty" which gets contorted into some weird gatekeeping of how a complaint or criticism needs to be phrased. We can all recognise ones that go a bit overboard, but given how flippant he's been in recent times, I can't say I blame e.g. healers for getting a bit less patient when it comes to delivering constructive feedback if it's just going to get dismissed. At this point he needs to give examples of what he means.

Honestly like what someone else said in the thread, it's more than likely just an excuse to ignore certain criticisms.

It wouldn't surprise me if he's actually using it that way.
