Haha, Neil, even I had to laugh at that.
It's good to see enthusiasm for aviation. But I'm also a strict follower in the rules. My job depends on it, so I would expect those who fall under my care (my passengers) to follow reasonable directions given to them from myself. If this includes turning your mobile phone off, whether you think it's fine to leave it in flight mode or not, then I expect you to do that.
