"OH MY! YOUR AURA IS BURNING A BRIGHT SHADE OF AMBER!" (in the middle of a public place) "My mom was Genghis Khan in a past life, she's trying to make up for it." "I just started the Coven of the Thirteenth Moon. I know I'm new to the Path, but it's okay because (insert God/Goddess here) made me a High Priest/ess" "No, you don't understand! You're possessed by the chaotic avatar of Set and you only have 5 more unbroken seals on your soul before it gets released!"
I've heard all of these (okay, except the coven one, but I've heard similar things). These people scare the shit out of me, and I don't put up with that bullshit.
Yeah I'm right there with you. I recently went back to check a message board I frequented a few years ago and found that all the members I respected had been banned and found myself *headdesking* repeatedly at the ridiculous drivel that was all over the place. And those are the folks that newspapers LOVE to interview.
Cliquishness. Big problem where I live. I was at a gathering this past weekend and it seemed like for the most people, everyone just stuck to spending time with the people they knew and not chatting with anyone else. It's very frustrating.
People calling themselves "Christian Witches/Christian Wiccans". I could go into it, but this is clearly ridiculous in SO many ways. The most obvious? Witchcraft is a sin in Christianity and Wiccans don't believe in Jesus Christ as their savour, they generally believe in more than one Lord (and/or Lady!!!) *sigh*

lack of civility and respect for others
oh and that smug macho-pagan thing about since we are not Christian, we do not have to practice forgiveness, compassion or non-violence.
