Persuade / Coerce - another fine line.
Maybe in your mind, take a look at the dictionary and legal definition.
persuade |pərˈswād| verb [ trans. ]
cause (someone) to do something through reasoning or argument : it wasn't easy, but I persuaded him to do the right thing.
• [ trans. ] cause (someone) to believe something, esp. after a sustained effort; convince : they must often be persuaded of the potential severity of their drinking problems | [ trans. ] he did everything he could to persuade the police that he was the robber.
• (of a situation or event) provide a sound reason for (someone) to do something : the cost of the manor's restoration persuaded them to take in guests.
coerce |kōˈərs| verb [ trans. ]
persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats : they were coerced into silence. See note at compel .
• obtain (something) by such means : their confessions were allegedly coerced by torture.
Now prove coercion and I will consider a change of stance.
