Wowgeek, as much as your name briefly matches your post, I must say that you are wholly wrong.
If he wasn't happy in that guild, and that guild wasn't raiding, there wouldn't be anything wrong with him leaving his 71 in there, especially if he wasn't happy.
A position like this is certainly nothing to be ashamed of, but honesty is key. If the OP gave the same reason to his guild as he did in his first post:
However, I also met another group of people that are also very cool, and that I wanted to get to know better, with the ultimate goal of introducing my two guilds to each other.
they probably saw through the bulls*** real quick. Their reactions may have been over the top, but no one likes being lied to.

...
When people decide to leave my guild, I wish them good luck, tell them that I hope they find what they are looking for and if not they are always welcome to return.
...
Treating people that way creates a sort of loyalty that worth a fortune. I've had several highlvls leave to join raid guilds at a point where my guild wasn't quite ready yet, but once rumor spread that we were raiding too, almost every single one returned and now we do 25 man raids.
Why don't more people think this way?
What server are you on, what faction are you, and what is your guild name?
Hint Hint I'm making a toon there.

Show them this post. Let them see how frustrating it is to have this situation on your head, that you feel the need to go to a random forum and ask for help.

Essentially, your cheating on your main guild. Your the guy, and Guild A and Guild B are now Amber and Beth. You've been with Amber for a year now, but Beth is new, fresh and exciting but you feel loyalty and dedication to Amber. Heck, why not have both, even better at the same time! ... Yeah, sorry bro, LIFE JUST DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT (many have tried, many have failed...). Ofc Beth would support you, Beth wants you. Yeah Amber's going to get mad...
Poor metaphor. If you're in "love" with a guild to the point where the mental illness known as jealousy* can manifest, then you have other issues you need to deal with.
The more apt metaphor would be that you are
friends
with Amber for a year, and then met Beth, and want to be friends with Beth as well - with the hope that at some point in the near future you can introduce Amber to Beth and they'll become friends, and you can all pal around together.+
If Amber blows up because you say you want to spend time with Beth too, then she was: A) Harboring deeper feelings than the situation merited, in which case she is at fault; or B) A psycho hose beast in disguise. The OP isn't trying to say that he is dumping Amber for Beth - in fact, quite the opposite, it seems to me that he is trying to expand his network of friends, which is not some sort of crime.
I have 3 or 4 guilds in my alliance of friends in WoW; we all park alts in each others' guilds, or in some cases even transfer our high-level toons across. We don't have any guild rules on limiting your characters to the guild - in fact, we encourage our members to branch out; if they find they like another guild better, great! We're still on their friends list. More often, though, we find people in the other guild who wind up joining us on alts, which lets us grow.
My advice, OP? Without knowing all the details, it sounds like you didn't really do anything meriting the response you're getting. If you've tried to rationally explain and they aren't willing to listen, then sometimes you just have to cut your losses and move on.
*Because jealousy, while unfortunately normal in our society, is a twisted response and
never
justified.
+Of course, it's also possible that Amber and Beth could wind up "liking" liking each other, and that could lead to you as the best man at a wedding in Massachusetts. Nothing wrong with that, I just wish they'd get a warmer climate so when I find the right guy...
