++Moderators-forgive me for posting this, but, after reading King's infuriatingly outrageous replies, I'm going against my better judgement and responding. I apologize for this, but, having been piqued, I can't help but do this.++
Okay, King Carlton. Child of the 7th Age has done an excellent job of articulating why one would appreciate fantasy and Tolkien. She has also made it perfectly clear how wrong you are to make snap judgements on people you don't even know. If you
still cannot get a clue, it's not my problem, nor is it my loss. Based on your posts, it seems to me that you have trouble accepting the fact that people think differently from you, and that you are unable to see from another perpective. You have made yourself look like an extremely narrowminded person who lacks a creative edge. (note: i am not saying you ARE that way-because, who am i to judge since i don't even know you? I'm not about to stoop to your low level of judgement by jumping to conclusions.) I am merely saying that you have made yourself LOOK like a parochial philistine. (one who lacks appreciation for art.)
We could get into debates about the fine points you addressed regarding my last post. But frankly, I don't think you're really worth the time. I would like to reinforce how inappropriate and uncalled for your belittlement of other's emotions/beliefs were. (ie-when people's parents fight is
serious situation. You have absolutely no right to make a judgement, since you don't even know the whole story). Nobody here appreciates your blatant rudeness and your lack of respect. You have evidently shown immaturity and close-mindedness.

Posing such comments to you in reply to your deepest cherished feelings of security, to basically tear to shreds your sense of being in accordance to your influence and affection for Tolkien/fantasy and then look forward to your reaction was my objective.

DO NOT FLATTER YOURSELF.
Excuse me-- As if MY deeply ingrained beliefs are so fickle that they change with whichever direction the wind blows? I DON't THINK SO. My beliefs are not going to waver simply because somebody exposes me to a different viewpoint. They especially are not going to change when somebody throws at me a load of crap that they can't even justify or support. So, King Carlton, like i said before and will say again: DO NOT FLATTER YOURSELF.
I've made my point as articulate as I can. If you still can't get it KC, then that is your problem. From now on, I'm not going to waste any more time on the topic of your inappropriate tone and disrespect.
