      No, that's not required.

      Oh don't despair, I simply wanted to understand the reasoning behind the change in your sign-off.

      Even if you were to give an order on CUK, it's almost certain, that anyone on the receiving end (and everyone reading it) would just think you a pillock.

        Best get back to your language textbooks, as it seems you have misinterpreted my post.

        I asked if OG wanted me to not keep it up anymore, I did not however, state I had a problem either way.

        Ps. You have plenty of problems, as we can all see from your posts and ban(s), etc.

          "Come to my birthday party" - can be used as an order, depending on tone & context.

          Or do you disagree?

            It's just that before, you seemed to be giving orders to 'keep it up' and have now stopped, why?

            Well done, Bean! Before it seemed to you that 'Keep it up,' was ordering you. And now you know that it wasn't ordering you. You have learned something! That is really good. Keep it up!
