Hmm, that's awfully unfortunate to hear, as I've been somewhat inconsistently working through the self-initiation in the DH and had wondered if joining the AODA might be a good idea for similar reasons to what you said. I'm not exactly shocked, but disappointed.
The more I hear about the collapse of the neopagan/alt-spirituality scene of the last few decades, the more I try to remind myself to look on the bright side that JMG points out: it means that the only folks who stick around are here for more than the party.
As for an informal order, that certainly sounds reasonable, but I know that getting organizations to be functional and not to devolve into organizational politics is tough.
