[Facts] Re: 'The Unforgiven'
I get the slight hint that you are mocking people of a gothic nature.Do not be so quick to judge and steriotype.Most of us do have more than two shirts and not all of us need to remove half of our bodyweight to sucessfully pass through a metal detector.I personally have no peircings at the moment.But thank you for not placing me in the same catagory as mindless grunge/goth idiots who have nothing better to do but drink piss and shove pins through every roll of skin they can find.What does Wizzy mean? I've never heard it before.Thanx a lot anywayStrange evil gothic bloke

My intention was not to mock you personally, Danny, since I don't even know you. I am only deriding those people I KNOW who pass themselves off as Goth. And believe me, I haven't exaggerated one bit in describing some of the friends of my (non-Goth) daughter who've shown up on our doorstep in the past two years.If these folks are atypical, then they are giving the rest of you a bad image. And that sucks.Incidentally, "Wizzy" came up in an earlier board discussion CheBanana and I had on the Roman letter "v" -- was it pronounced "v" or "w" (as in modern Latin)? This led to speculation that the Western Goths, or Visigoths, should be "Wizzygoths", and the puns were all downhill from there.
