Self-fulfilling prophecies, number 27 in a series of far too many: if I happen to come across people, say on the website of a famous sci-fi-based magazine, reiterating in mindless chorus the myth that science fiction fans have no sense of humour (because all sf is po-faced and deadly serious, because science fiction fans have no...you get the idea) it makes me very angry, because whereas I will defend anyone's right to believe something for which there is no evidence either way, the rote regurgitation of actual proven falsehoods as if they were true really gets my goat. And so I comment irately, and come across as...someone with no sense of humour. Le sigh. One of these days I'll get a clue.
