[Mithadan]

I am not saying to not follow up on anything which I or anyone else has said, whether on a tangent or even to an extent off-topic (the topic is Tolkien, not necessarily the topic of the first post). I am suggesting that an extended discussion of the philosphical or moral apsects of tolerance or discrimination may create some "bad blood". Therefore some sensitivity is needed if we venture down that road. I am not suggesting that such a discussion should not take place, but "bad blood" is prohibited. This discussion has been perfectly civil and appropriate thus far. I just somehow "have a bad feeling about this". Therefore my cautionary note...
