Also, people have actually tried to convince others that All Slytherins Are Bad??
One of the first discussion I had in HP fandom was me trying to convince a bunch of other fans, using very carefully thought out examples from canon as a proof, that Not All Slytherins Are Necessarily Bad. I'm afraid I wasn't terribly succesful. (Incidentally, the discussion wasn't on LJ, but on another discussion forum which was mainly devoted to Jane Austen.)
I've come a long way from my not-all-Slytherins-are-bad viewpoint to they're so misunderstood! woe is them! Or something. ;-)
[BTW, sorry for commenting so late. I've been away from computer quite a lot and am catching up on all the interesting discussions I've bookmarked.]
