Having allowed the former does not negate your right to insist on the latter, nor does it give me the right to ignore it when you do. I am, and always was, there by your leave and your leave only. Once that has been withdrawn, I am a trespasser and nothing more. No amount of whining about implied "contracts" and "but you said I could come in!" is going to change that.
And what a dangerous world this is for those of us who might want to be guests on someone's property, that our hosts might ask us to leave and declare us to be trespassers before we are able to comply! The horror, that we might falsely be accused of being trespassers once having been caught in this trap!

Surely, it would be better for everyone if we abolished the right of the property owner to ask us to leave so that we would be safe in our knowledge that we could not be accused of trespassing once invited in, regardless of how we decided to use or abuse our hosts' hospitality once we're in!
