You Know What Gets My Goat???

...being accused of "following suit". Excuse me, but I've spent the past 14+ years studying, reading, talking with other Pagans in an attempt to learn more about Pagan beliefs (mostly Wiccan, but you get my drift). What's a person's problem when I call them out on something and they turn around and make a claim that "I follow so-and-so's lead" when it comes to answering questions.

I'm sorry...I didn't know that, because what I've learned in the past 14+ years is similar to the knowledge of other people, that means I'm only going off those people and NOT the knowledge I've gained through my studies and books.

I guess the dozens and dozens of books I have lining my shelves, the websites I've parused in interest and notes I've taken over the years are just for show. You know, because I only go off one person's ideas of what Pagan beliefs are, and how to properly go about practice. It's not like I've actually taken the time to READ the books I have, and have simply photocopied the notes I have from someone else. 

I've only encountered so-and-so in the last few years...before that I never knew them, yet was still rhyming off the same information to other seekers. Apparently I've been precognitvely gaining knowledge just so that I can "follow suit" once I finally met so-and-so (I say "so-and-so" just to avoid using names).

Sorry, but it pisses me off when I make a true statement...that someone else believes their way is the only right way and no one else's way could possibly be valid, only to have that person make things personal and claim that I'm only a follower. I've encountered THREE individuals with this kind of attitude, fortunately only ONE has retaliated in such a childish manner. It just goes to show that no matter what I do, no good deed goes unpunished. I defend someone, and I get shit on. Story of my life. 

Sorry, but I just had to get this off my chest. I have the capacity to research, and I DO. My knowledge may reflect others, but that's what happens when you have similar beliefs. Sorry to agree with someone of which another disagrees with. That's not my problem. My problem is, when someone says that another can't believe differently. I also have a problem with people who can't accept facts. 

Make up lies all you want, but in the end I'm not the one who looks like an ass!
End rant.
