During the Board Troubles, I very publicly and strongly disagreed 
with the position my sovereigns took. At one point His Majesty wrote 
asking me what I thought of the events at Estrella, and I replied 
that I was happy with the actions of almost all the sovereigns except 
my own. Our correspondence remained cordial; he was a gentleman.

Some while later I had a less cordial exchange with another sovereign 
whose views I disagreed with--one of the things that made me less 
unhappy than I might have been when, for mundane reasons, I moved out 
of the kingdom.

Of course, it is easier to argue with a king if you are a duke. But I 
don't think it is or should be impossible for other people.
