But asking people to clean up their facebook's? I guess my issue is that a) I can't fathom facebook being so important to a person's personal identity that they have to have certain things on there at all costs and b) I can't see why making small scarifices aren't expected when one joins a group or team.

If it were a complete either/or, I'd understand what you are saying. If I had to choose to be a member and let the group determine all my facebook content or resign my membership, I, of course, would choose the group over facebook. But that choice doesn't have to be made.
I like the option that says, your postings are your business, but if you choose to display the groups letters, symbols, etc, then you need to follow these rules. It's perfectly reasonable, but it must accept that some people will choose expression over displaying the letters, and to me that's okay. It's not that you are refusing to compromise; it's a different form of accepting the choices the group gives.
