[@Ezmeralda] I'm not saying "I'm the GM so do as I say.", I'm saying "I'm the GM, so please respect that, the rules of this forum, and please respect me and my decisions when I explain the history of the world that we're working in, and do not constantly say that I am wrong or otherwise mistaken when I provide ample evidence and explanation to prove my point." 

If you don't agree with my assessments as GM, then you don't need to be in the RP, it's that simple. I'm happy and willing to work within the predefined constraints of the world, I can be really flexible. Just, don't argue when I've already said no, unless you've got a very, very compelling argument, backed by reputable sources (Jordan himself or the big 3).
