Once its established & agreed upon, not when one simply assumes that which is to be proved.

If they try to present vampires as role-models, then, to me, the answer is yes. However, I am not aware this is the case with these works.

But you didn't mention anything about presenting them as role models - you talked about having a 'fascination with them'.

For me, it relates to a personal conviction, that being fascinated with vampires enstrages one from his soul.

I think 'personal convictions' are all well & good, but to simply throw one into a discussion (one in which, I might add, you have repeatedly demanded that other posters supply 'evidence' & justify each single point they make) is hardly likely to further the discussion. I have a 'personal conviction' that celery is the work of the devil, but I don't see that it contributes to the discussion either.

No, you see, what you're doing is making all encompassing statements ('x' is a truism) & when the statement is challenged you respond to the effect that 'I was only referring to situations where said person accepts this to be the case.'
