Unfortunately, this is where General and Specific DON'T mix;>! I admit to being a Spiritual Conservative, so to me there's a big difference between what's Right for a specific Way and what's Right for everyone....and the latter, other than Tolerance is pretty SLIM. The problem oft is when folks take Wisdom/Info/etc from their Way(Personal OR Established)and think everyone else should do it/have it/think it/etc as they do. I'm a Heathen. I used to be FOlkish but I'm not as Dogmatic as I used to be. However, I know that what works for Heathens or even Folkish ones isn't going to work or even be appropriate for an Alexandrian Wiccan or Radical Fairy. And vice versa. The thing with "mileage" under your "belt" is that you get better at knowing what words for yours AND for other folks....and what DOESN'T. Unfortunately, it's not unusual for someone, well..like me to have someone with a couple months in a different Way to lecture them on a post in which info particular to a particular Way was given. Have that happen too many times a yr for a couple of yrs and it gets reeeeaaaallllly OLD.
