Absolutely right.

One of the important principles that has made Wikipedia work is mutual
caring and support among the contributors.  Of course it's right at
times to take a firm stand, even at the risk of annoying others, but
really, it's a lot better to try to get along with people,
particularly if they care a lot about something, are producing a lot
of work, and it's minor to everyone else.
