The harshness of the following post is in response to the condescending tone of your last post. I know it is the Christian thing to turn the other cheek, but then again, chivalry does not turn its face from insult.
Look, I am sorry if I have insulted you, or anyone else for that matter.This post was never meant as an insult to anyone, apart from the makers of the magazine. If it was meant to be so serious, it would not be on this board. However, I would not know about what is Christian, as I am not a Christian.

Apparently you are talking about the game. Or at least you aren’t at all clear about what you are at odds with.
I suppose this just depends on the way your mind works. I read it as the magazine, but if you read it differently, who am I to judge.

Are you implying that there is some hidden agenda? That, maybe, I’m really a war gamer claiming not to be, or worse yet, the CEO of Games Workshop? Sorry, but no. That will come as a great pain for you, I'm sure… I know how much you would love to fit me and everyone else who disagrees with you into nice neat categories, like “geek” or “corporate cheeseba”.
This, however, cannot be ignored. For one thing, you never answered my question. Next, I REALLY hate people like the person that you think I am. If you could even begin to imagine how angry this makes me. If I wanted everyone to be in a specific category, if I considered people with hobbies like this as geeks, then why would I have them? I used the word "geeky" purley because tyhere is no other word for it. Are you going to say that, in your perfect world, there would still be people who
thought of LOTR as geeky? Dont you want LOTR to be accepted by society?

It seems that you have gotten a little...confused. So, I will clarify.

I am against the magazine, and the way that it is advertised. I hate the way that it cheapens LOTR, commercialises it. I think that it further ruins the publics view of the books.

Happy? (though I think I know the answer...)
