You've hit the nail on the head. All these group affiliations do not matter one hoot. For some reasons, when humans form groups to achieve a common goal, the sanctity of the group seems to overtake the goal. In many cases, it is more acceptable to compromise the original goal, than to threaten the cohesion of the group. Your answer at the ADA Walk simply shows that you remain true to your goal, not to some group. Funny how alien that concept seemed to the organizers!
Please shoot me if TIF or I ever sound like those organizers.
