Godwin's Law: goth addendum

[mrph]

In any given flame war, the first person to scream "Goth politics! they're all out to get me..." is the one who looks silliest. If they mean that a specific person has an axe to grind, they should say so (or, alternatively, shut up and fume in a less public way).

It's a small step from goth politics rants to JFK assassination theories, black helicopters and alien lizards. Just don't go there.

And the sure way to go into bad territory in alt.gothic was to bring up Hitler or Ayn Rand.
