Hi Nadya,
The explanations seem very subjective. It may be the group kind of makes their own rules as it goes along, kind of like a poker game, where the dealer declares one-eyed-jacks wild after looking at his hand.
I would think the majority of the asp forum members respect you, since you were vote as one of the top ten soon after joining. Maybe you need to throttle back a little until the group members get to know you a little better. I'm sure the group will eventually let you in.
