I would say personally say that the person chose to disassociate or formally remove themselves as a witness. I would indicate that Paul said not to even eat with a man that was once called your brother. I would also indicate that Jesus stopped his association with Judas when he excused him from the lord's evening meal before his betrayal of the Christ. I would also indicate that ultimately it is a choice that someone makes if they want to shun a person or not, in reality a person can find a legitimate excuse if they want to speak with someone who is either DA or DF. I would also indicate, that even though I am not associated with a congregation right now because of my sexuality, that in my decades of experience I have never known someone who was DF for speaking with someone who was DF or DA. I may be living in a fantasy world and that is probably my own experiences but that is what I have seen, including a number of DF and DA family members that my immediate family did speak with while I was growing up.

Person who DA accepted and lived by the rules of the church and one of the rules is what you refer to as "shunning" and now all of a sudden when such person decides not to be a member of the church feels that church laws do not apply. It does; based on wt interpretation of the Bible.

You already posted that above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, twisted as it is. Just trying to hear your own echo? I'm sure your twin will be here shortly to reiterate your JW position. And yes, you live in a fantasy world, on an apostate forum, with a pro-JW stance, all the while JWs are looking forward to you becoming bird food due to your sexuality, which they view as a moral failing and choice rather than just who you are. Perhaps even your friend Fisherman feels that way about you, as he tends to view things through the JW lens, and let's face it, we all know what the Bible says if that's your end all be all for life.

dub, did you ever get a traffic ticket and you tell the cop how stupid he is or maybe the judge how stupid he is - but the violation is valid and so is RO post until you show different. Nothing you have said has any merit towards the topic. All you can do is yell and call names at people. --RO position stands.
