What are they asking you to cease and desist? Your question does not indicate. If they are asking you to cease and desist from posting on this acount and the account has been deleted so that you cannot post, they would seem to have no claim and you would respond that that account has been deleted (and with facts or details supporting this assertion). But if they asking you to cease and desist something else, you should re-post your question with the exact thing they are demanding.
