I'd never do that. If I find something I disagree upon with you, I will bring it up and hash it out with you until we agree on it somewhere.

I am sorry, I know I put my foot down here and there. . . A lot so it seems, and I am sorry. *Bows* I don't mean to be pushy, but honestly, when you ask me what I think, I tell you what I think, and once I've voiced something, I have a slightly harder time changing my mind than if it comes up in the RP naturally. I'm a planner. . .

Do you remember the person you recommended me to? I'm not sure if you guys ever talk about me, or what he and I are doing, but we spent about 2-3 months and 180+ posts trying to hash out the RP idea we started with, and ended up scrapping it just because there was too much planning. She got an idea in her head, but then asked me what I thought, and then we'd end up in 20 post lone debates over it because she would keep asking me all the facets of what I saw, before bringing up what she wanted. Most of the time I would fold, but by then there would be certain things I would not want to change, and more often than not, one of those things would be challenged. We ended up making an RP entirely based on building a universe, starting as barely formed something or others just so we wouldn't have to do much real planning, since the universe doesn't even exist yet :P And even then, we had a few rough disagreement patches.

Sorry for the rambling, I just wanted to give you an example of why it seems like I'm being forceful and controlling. I will take whatever power given me, and once in place, I may very well defend it vehemently. In your's and my's case, I think the point I feel is being missed, is that, and correct me if I'm wrong, you are taking your tech base off of a very strict understanding of Real Life world history, and the evolution of tech here on Our Earth. For me, that's like. . .My playing chopstick next to someone playing Beethoven. I don't know evolution of tech and the histories of tech development on Our Earth, so when it comes to RPs, I phutz around until something makes sense in my head, and while I can't articulate it properly(Chopsticks), in my head there is perfect sense(Beethoven). My version of tech history and development makes sense, in my head, but digging into it brings about the frustration of my not being able to put it on paper properly. I see the history of tech in our RP world developing along a completely different line than in the Real World, partially due to my ignorance of RL tech history, but even more because of the magicals themselves. Before the war, the were there, changing things, making the RP world different from ours, even in the tech sense, so despite our base of an earth like planet(We can even call it Earth, for simplicity sake) I would like to keep things on the simpler side and let things develop as they may.

That doesn't mean I refuse to do planning, I love planning, but maybe we can stick to specific tech ideas, like, was the intronet a thing before the war? Did the iPod ever come into existance, or something like it? Smaller scale. . . .Smaller scale. . . .
