Satanic leadership
I have added the following paragraph to "The Laws, Sins and Rules of Satanism: How to approach its Legalism" by Vexen Crabtree (2002):

"The Satanic leadership directs through example first, and dominance only second. A person, full of ego, who stands up amongst Satanists and starts dishing out commads will soon find their lives to be a hailstorm of conflict and anxiety. Blanche Barton, High Priestess of the Church of Satan from 1997 until 2002, herself states that the "how dare you question my judgement!" mentality would be "not very Satanic". She continues: "We aren't too keen on taking things 'on faith' and, while we all enjoy wicked posturing once in awhile, members of the Church of Satan deserve more than that"₁. Indeed it would be ironic for the leadership to demand allegiance without explanation, when a cornerstone of Satanic philosophy is to ask questions and to challenge!
