Wow. Ok, this might be further digressing, but are you saying that the misdirecting nature of what we consider to be occult has more to do with the last two centuries than with their roots? That the pseudo-public discourse was in large part an ivory-tower effect?
To the OP's questions: I am more for open debate and discourse. Many self-select themselves out of these conversations anyway. We need parties to feel like they can enter it though, as interests cross. Otherwise, it seems to end in pitchforks. :)

Naturally, one can argue that only the nobility had the means with which to educate themselves to a degree that could possibly contribute to such a lofty field of philosophical discourse as Renaissance esoterica, but I present the case of the peasant and cobbler Jacob Boehme in retort.
