I don't think, however, that it would be unenforceable for a private membership organization to exclude someone who was disruptive to there purpose from membership...as long as that exclusion isn't itself unconstitutional.

And suing just because you didn't like your schedule (without a discrimination claim behind it) would be disruptive (costly) to the organization. If there was discrimination behind it, then, if it were found to be a valid complaint, the exclusion based on being sued would probably be ruled invalid. However, it there were no discrimination found, then the exclusion may be left to stand.
