I thought I would miss the varied experience of being with different folks every week when I joined a crew for this season (in Illinois). I found that I enjoyed being a part of a crew, too.
But I was free to join or not join any crew. If someone wants to "poach" you from one crew to another, well, I guess they have the right to try and you have the right to do whatever you feel you need to do.
My feeling is that if you can't build a relationship with the other guys on your crew to the point where you just want to jump off, then you weren't an optimal crew in the first place. Nothing wrong with that, I guess - some groups of five people are going to get along better than others.
If you get on a good crew, it makes working games more enjoyable. If you don't enjoy working with someone, chances are they don't enjoy working with you, in which case, on you get. Find a situation that works for you.
