Proof? What proof do I need? Because someone happens to get some fun out of play acting the role of an Orc you simply cannot say "Oh, he is evil." Why? Because the odds are that he is not. Thankfully this world is not full of muderers and perverts. But it is full of people that get a chill or a thrill from reading about bad guys. davem explains it very well. No more 'proof' is needed.
Besides, this is getting boring. I don't come on here to dance on a pinhead as the Downs saying goes. I just came here to defend the many many Tolkien fans and members of this very site who happen to get a kick out of the bad guys and are perfectly harmless and decent people. I need no more 'proof' of their being good people than that I know for a fact that they are,
