As far as I know there is nothing in the Traditions about "open meetings".
"Open meetings" are part of many group's format because it is a way for friends and families in the community to get a chance to have a better understanding of how meetings work and what AA is about. At my home group we even have a question and answers period where visitors are encouraged to ask questions.
I know that because of our Third Tradition, nobody can expel another member, regardless of how disruptive he may be, however I do not know what conditions would apply to someone who is NOT a member.
All things considered I believe that we as AA members must always remember to show a higher level of tolerance for others, even in the face of some harsh criticism
