I again would have to say, different people act different ways, Stephen king was a master writer. many said he was evil (I was even told I must not be saved because I read him) but I can tell fantasy from reality. He never caused me to walk away from God. Stop loving others, or become a maniac myself.
Yet some people can not read him, they would not react in a good way., and it may cause them to do not good things,
we also have the old adage, if it causes you to sin, don;t do it.
So some people should not do it, Unit does not mean we have to get legalistic and say no one should.
I hear you and I will sum it this way:
Personal Convictions to do or not do certain things are personal until they impact you, your family and your local church. At that point, those personal convictions are not so personal anymore.
Sadly speaking, not being judgemental, a example of this is Pastor Perry Noble.
He lost his church because his personal convictions did not think having an occasional drink of alcohol was a big deal.
Months later his wife confronted him about his reliance on alcohol to even write sermons.
He ignored her, then his lead elder picked up on it and confronted him and the truth was, by his very own admission, that he was now a drunk.
His personal conviction impacted other things and when they do that, they are no longer personal.
My personal conviction says no Pastor or other Church leader should be using with any form/qty of alcohol or illegal drugs. Smoking and chewing should be shunned as well, but I do not hold fast on those. There is no place for it if you have been called and sent into ministry. Many disagree with me and thats fine. That goes for elders as well.
I could care less of a congregation member has a drink every now and then or smokes or chews.
