Your approach much mirrors mine. I have two or three of those magazines they published 15-20 years ago, one IIRC showed Our Lady of LaSalette weeping. As in all things Catholic these days, I "take the meat and leave the bones". In these confused times, people will inevitably disagree on what constitutes meat, and what constitutes bones.
And if in eating the meat you choke on a bone, then what? If not you, then what of the others less knowledgeable (who knows how many?) who choke on some of the errors they preach? That danger is present there, and it is sometimes mingled within whatever truth they teach. It should be noted that by their air of authority, they teach just as if they're commissioned to teach by the Church, and many unknowing accept them as such.
I'm in-between on the Dimonds. I do believe that their behavior and attitudes are OBJECTIVELY schismatic, but at the same time I do not hold them in contempt like so many do, practically spitting at the mere mention of their names. Charity should extend also to the uncharitable. I do not agree with them about everything, but they get a lot of things right, and I'll give them credit where credit is due.
It has nothing to do with extending charity to them, the charity to be extended should mean charity in the form of fraternal correction, what you are preaching is empathy, not charity - which they invariably, vehemently reject anyway - then write articles slandering those who extended them charity.
It has everything to do with their preaching error as truth, doing so under the appearance of a putative authority.
Like the Index of Forbidden Books, I admit they do have some extremely some good material, but as Our Lord warned, that only makes the DBs an even greater danger, maybe not for some, but it is for many.
