the only "harm" that comes is when someone claims practices to be of the Ancient Faith when they are in fact not doing so

I've not had the experience of anyone saying they practise the Ancient Faith when the practises they follow are something entirely different. On the whole, I like to think that people are comfortable enough with their own faith to be able to catagorise it without prejudice. Then again, I myself don't know the practises of the AE's ~ and yet I consider myself Kemetic. Is that wrong?

If that term makes sense to you and you know what you mean by it..I wouldn't say it is "wrong"...or "right".
The word "kemetic" means of Kemet or Ancient Egypt. People use the term differently. When we at Kemet OnLine! say "kemetic" we mean those who follow the Netjer of ancient Egypt and the ways of It's Ancient Faith today.
Those inspired by Ancient Egypt such as the Rosecutions would not use the term "kemetic" to describe their religion
Wiccan's who worship Egyptian Gods tend to simply use wicca, egyptian wicca or Tamaran. Ceremonial Magicians tend to use whatever term their tradition uses.. a few have used the term "kemetic" but their practice only relates to our own superficially as we are not a modern western magical order 
Our concern is less with what label one choses to apply to the complex reality of who _they_are..then that practices of the Kemetic ways..the ways of the Ancient Egyptians be preserved, remembered and that this faith brought foward with both integrity and faithfulness to the contemporary world.

Recently on a board I read, someone posted a question about ancient Greek practices and how they reflected on some modern stuff (with regards to the Olympics). The question was explicitly directed at one of the known Hellenic recons on the board.
Someone replied with, "Well, if you want to know what the Greek recons think about this, why don't you actually ask some?" and posted a link to a Wiccan site.
Response was split between "Uh, yeah, what do you think this thread was doing?" and "Er, no, that's not ancient practice at all."
