As far as I know, and I've looked, and read, and asked many folk... NO, we
cannot be forced to accept a principality. The BoD are not all powerful. Nor do
they try to be (usually....*big grin* ...Hi Eilis!). There is no provision in
Corpora/By-Laws that would allow them (BoD) to do anything of the sort. It
would kind of go against the grain of our ideals of Fair Play/Honor to force
folks to accept what they don't want. (Talk about the sound of stampeding
people leaving the SCA!) I trust our People, our Kingdom Seneschal, our Crown,
and our BoD to do "The Right Thing!" If the majority, _clear_ majority of the
people in Ansteorra _want_ principalities...then so be it. I will deal with my
own demons at that time. But, I _will_ accept the outcome!
I do hope that this helps! Hey! If I'm wrong someone yell at me...*smile*
In friendship, I remain...
...true to my Dreams...
