Exactly.
Saying you won't pledge somebody who left another organization under ANY circumstances is ridiculous. Sometimes we make vows that we mean at the time, but people change. And if this change was something as large as wanting to pursue national affiliation vs. giving up on it, and rayray pledged this group in part because she wanted to be in a national group and this group "promised" that to her -- they broke their promise.
