Absolutely. I am not willing to push the issue if it will be
detrimental to the health and stability of the region. I would
really hate to see us polarize into an "us versus them" mentality.
It's not worth pursuing a principality if it is going to cause hard
feelings, factionalization, polarization, animosities, and
destructive anger. On the other hand, I think that it is (should be)
possible to discuss the issue calmly and rationally and still remain
friends even though we may disagree. We just have to go into it
agreeing to disagree agreeably. :-) Or something like that.

That's probably true.
