> The problem isn't that the Bible is adhered to too much but rather not enough: some churches put as much stock in church traditions and human discernment rather than a genuine deference to biblical truth. Had this church embraced biblical teaching above their own traditions or their own judgments or whatever it was that they put above it, then those actions would not have been taken.

YES. Traditions are okay in their place, but when others are thought of as "wrong" because they don't follow that tradition, or when the tradition flatly contradicts the Bible, then there's a problem. In the former case, the tradition need only be relegated to a sub-Scripture role; in the latter case, it should be thrown out, if one is to claim to believe the Bible.
