Very well put, Jenbel. Permanently suspended members are not in fact FTers. They are former members of FlyerTalk. Yes, DOs should be open to all FlyerTalk members, but, as with any private organization, if your membership has been revoked for cause you are not and ought not be welcome at gatherings that take place under the aegis of that organization.

Moreover, I can't understand why anyone whose FlyerTalk membership was permanently removed for cause would want to come to a DO for members. I sure wouldn't want to show my face if I had been removed from FT for cause.
