No worries, it doesn't come off that aggressive ;)
Yes, I've definitely been involved in other projects where a single core developer can do a little too much "imposing" of their will. i.e. if they happen to have a personal preference one way or another on things, they not accept or even entertain certain changes.
I wouldn't expect most large, mature projects to be this way (otherwise they probably wouldn't have grown as large or attracted enough of a community!), but it's certainly a problem with some projects.
