My personal annoyance came from the feeling of, "There is a Great Evil out there that only A Select Group knows about. You are One Of That Group, but you're going to spend more time on politics, schism, and disagreement than going out there and stopping the Great Evil."

If I wanted entertainment where the major point is that the people who should be opposing evil are spending their time arguing about how the evil should be opposed, I'd watch C-SPAN, or go to a PTA meeting.
