It reminds me a lot of the discussions of "good witches" versus "bad witches", and that's one that has never turned out well for anyone. I suppose "polarizing" would have been a better term. Isms and schisms, and all that good stuff. The fluffs already hate me without thinking I'm evil, too :P

You're right, I understand that a there probably is a bigger population that sees everything in life more in black and white as opposed to shades of gray. To me, when I say white or black magic (if you want to call it that) or just magic in the broader sense is like having electricity which someone could shock themselves or use electricity to heat a room and to stay warm. It all depends on the motives and the intentions of the individual in my opinion and I will be the first to admit that not all of my intentions are pure. As right now my personal life is becoming increasingly difficult.
