ok “ordered” may be a strong word...I don’t have the thread handy, so I’ll change it to “asked”

Nah, stick with 'ordered'.

I love the pomposity.

I wasn't laughing at your turn of phrase, but the thought that we would follow his orders.

As if.

To be honest I wouldn’t follow his “ask” either. Same goes for beg and plead.
