Never ever feel intimidated by the discussions in the books forum, or the people that do the 'discussing.' If you've got some input, come in and put it out there. We can all learn something from the very oldest Tolkien reader, to the very youngest to the books.
We all make slip-ups and mistakes. So, if you do make an error, and somebody else corrects it, don't feel ashamed or embarassed...accept it as a learning experience and realize that the person was only trying to help you further understand.
I had an old signature about steps to take to make yourself look smarter than you truly are.
1) Only talk about the stuff you know
2) Admit it when you make a mistake
3) Agree with me
Ok. so #3's a joke (or is it?) but 1 and 2 I still try to stick to as much as possible.
