What I see is that ISKCON devotees are searching more significant answers than this continuous shouting of Offense! Offense! on your side. When Sati heard Daksa´s offense against Lord Shiva, she inmediately decided to give up her body. The other way left to her was to cut Daksa´s tongue and kill him. She did not it because Daksa was her father. When Lord Caitanya went to Varanasi, Tapana Misra and Candrasekhara heard Prakasananda Sarasvati´s offenses against Lord Caitanya. As they could not give a better version of Lord Caitanya´s behavior, they left the place. Prabhupada says they were kanistha adhikaris because they had not knowledge to counteract Prakasananda Sarasvati´s arguments. If you come to misinformed ISKCON forums preaching against ISKCON policies or authorities, you´ll be rebuked, and you´ll deserve it. That´s not the vaisnava way. The sage don´t disturb the ignorants. Today I have been reading My Hearthy Blessings, the answer from Narayana Maharaja´s to the 1996 GBC´s position paper on NM. It has changed my mind about the whole issue. I encourage every sincere soul in ISKCON to read it, at least to know both side´s version. But other texts you mention, like Alanath Maharaja´s "Search for purity" are not even devotional. It is "search for garbage" and nothing else. Still, I have to recognize that My Hearthy Blessings is a very rich text. It deserves, at least, a very careful consideration. So I ask my apologies to you and NM for any offense on my side, but I ask you also to correct your approach to ISKCON mainstream followers on this matter.
