In neither case did you post it as a request - "reasonable" or otherwise.
In both of your comments (one deleted; one still here) you told me that I had made my mind up in advance, on this matter. Here's how you worded it:- "So you had made up your mind in advance after all."
I hadn't made up my mind in advance, in fact. As I have explained fully to you. 
But please do go on thinking that you know better. I expect nothing else from you.
