I think the real issue is what people consider "Weight and sin".
Many legalists (not all) believe sin to be anything that violates "standards", but don't spend a lot of time on issues of the heart, such as bitterness, hatred, envy, gossip, backbiting, etc.
Many liberals (not all) realize that many of our man made standards have little, if anything, to do with sin, and focus more on actions rather than appearance.
