I clearly did not. You repeatedly stated that it being your thread and you being a "guest," you get to make the rules for this conversation. You also said that you should get to make the rules for the conversation in another hypothetical thread on the same topic. I am telling you that is not the case.
I should point out to you that you are not a guest here. You are a member. Every member has the same standing here in terms of rules. When it comes to threads, the author of the thread does not get to dictate the terms of the conversation . . . ever. They have no sort of ownership over the thread, save that their posts may be their intellectual property in some cases.
