This is neither the intention, nor the reality of the system. You can decline receiving commercial mail from ISOC by not clicking the email opt-in. You will still receive Transactional email (like if you forget your password and ask us to send a link to reset it). The canceling of membership ONLY happens if you decline to let us keep your email address on-file. Without an email address, there is no way to let a member login (validate) to our systems, nor to receive transactional email. 

A person can be a member, but unsubscribe to receiving general communication. I hope that clarifies and thank you for bringing it up.
