    At the end of the day it is just an opinion even if it is in the form of a direction because the one giving it has no real influence on or ability to make the readers do it and they know it.

      Directions don’t only become directions when you have power. They’re just ineffective if you don’t have it. Doesn’t mean you’re not at least trying to control people

        That’s really arguing about insignificant semantics just concerning the form and not the actual implications of the message.

          That is not semantics whatsoever. “Don’t open that door” is a direction whether it comes from a stranger or a police officer. Why should anything else be different?

            I can’t help you if you refuse to see any difference and don’t find this constructive with you at this point.

              There is nothing to “help” me with. You’re just stubbornly refusing to see the point. Telling someone to do something is a fucking command.

              Stop replying to me. This is a command.
