I do not see this as a mandate. You and I disagree on the interpretation.
Just now you said that your words in that case were:
I stated being a former mod, that's not true that a member may certainly request that but a mod is not obligated to do that. I asked for Ranchhands input.

Old Sarge, You should know well that a mod does not have to close a thread at an OP's request.
It is up to the Mod.
What do you say Ranch?

In that post, you asserted what Sarge should know, made a false representation of what he said, and then asked Ranchhand to join in your debate.
IMO, that does raise Sarge's questions of:
Sixx, are you really going to come in here and tell me or Ranchhand how to moderate?
Are you really going to try and start a debate between Ranchhand and myself?

You clearly do not care for OldSarge's moderating style and have said so here:
your ASPD style of moderation is not wanted in this neck of the woods.

You did have every opportunity to respond to OldSarges' questions, in the very forum they were posted.
NOTHING physically prevented you from starting a CoEd thread in the forum where you found offense.
You deliberately chose to start a thread in here and try and bait a moderator to come onto YOUR turf and look the fool. IMO.
Just sayin
