It really has nothing to do with with anyone deeming anyone to be "worthy" or otherwise. It's about the purpose of the MSA and how to achieve that purpose in a manner that is most efficient with the least amount of headaches. Most groups operate like this-- that's why they have mission statements and the like.
Okay, so since you seem to take issue with my post, if you were not categorizing people in your "Type A" vs "Type B" post then what were you doing? You made statements like "this person is sincere" as though you know their intentions and in an earlier post in this thread equated people who don't dress modestly (however you define it - not clear on what that is) to someone wearing a swastika shirt to a Jewish group event as though it was the same thing. If the goal is the least amount of headaches, then you're right, not being as inclusive does eliminate them because it takes out room for debate and discussion. The problem with the whole line of thinking is that it holds some people as the "judgers" as though they have some authority.
