I think it's entirely the case that PLUG is intended to benefit the whole
community and that PDXLUG has chosen a path that allows selection of
benefit which PLUG has rejected.  I don't see how you can deny those

I think it's important to distance one's self from organizations with
which one is ideologically at odds.

PLUG and be a member at the same time.
