If you read the bottom of each page there is also a note that posting under multiple aliases can get your comment deleted and/or you can have your IP address banned. For those who are unaware, when you send a comment in to a website such as this, the Administrator (Motts) can see who sends the comments in. That is why he made the comment about posting under multiple aliases. My personal belief - if you believe it enough to say it, be responsible enough to claim credit for it.
I do not dislike Goths. Someone made a comment under mine that was incorrect and added my name to it. I am especially insulted that an ugly sexual slur was attached to it. I will say, though that if your definition of a Goth as "accepting, respecting and daring to live" doesn't fit people who choose to work in a very difficult field taking care of people when others are critical of them for doing it, I don't know what does. And it takes a lot more courage to do that than to wear different clothes and listen to different music and to "dare" to think different thoughts. A large number of people who frequent this forum would describe themselves as Goths, so there is no bias about that here. What there is bias about is the silly people who come here pretending to be Goths, as you said. Maybe rather than jumping the people who may not know the difference between a true Goth and a Goth-wannabe you could do what many of the rest of us try to do - try to educate people about the differences between public perception and reality.
It would SO suck to think that in the afterlife I would be reduced to walking around some hospital I used to work in just because I had been a doc there and then have to endure a bunch of asshat ghost hunters who were unable to communicate with me because they had never learned how to use the English language so as to be understood by others. That WOULD be hell. >:-)
I for one am glad you asked. I never thought about it before, even though I have had cats in the past (I have 4 salukis now, and due to their various bumps, scrapes, and injuries I have had to get more familiar with their bones than I would ever have imagined - $$$$$$$$).
