Intent? Probably not. Authority? Definitely. Are we not authority figures on the court? Besides, I'm not sure where you're getting your definition for "order," but it seems to be the crux of our division here.
Regarding your stop-sign point, I also never said such things were ineffective. Quite the contrary. I've used them a few times, and they've always worked (so far).

There it is. I think you provided some well-needed common ground, BNR. In fact, I think I'll steal that line for my own pre-games.
