Do you believe that the ambitions of one should be safeguarded, when the group as a whole would be harmed? Where should the line be drawn?
Our traditions state very clearly what we need to do - we need to protect the group as a whole, always. If we don't, our fellowship will not be there for us or anyone else in the future. Having said that, I believe it is possible to do it in a non-hurtful way, when addressing the "ambitions of one." The easiest way would be to first, ask our Higher Power for help, and second, quote the tradition that applies to where the harm would be done.
There should never be a line drawn, meaning, we should never be in a position to have to choose. We have no choice. We have clear cut guidelines (which have worked), handed down to us through many generations. No debate is necessary.
