I'm surprised at how good people are taking this. To add me to the list of many already, yes, it was quite a laugh. I agree with Teal Dude though. The site was definitly made by a child---one who has not read the books and probably won't.
He didn't really offend me much by what he said, because people have opinions. I have an entire Freshman class at my school who thinks I'm stupid for liking LOTR. I liked that he didn't have to be vulger about it though. If you read the guestbook, there were many people in there cussing LOTR fans out. At least the maker of the page wasn't mean about it. So I give him credit for that.

Before, there was a picture of a golden retriver on the site, but now there is a metal fork, or something.

Yes, the fork I did not get. Maybe he was showing his plot to stab every LOTR fan with it? Or maybe he was going to just stab Tolkien? I mean, he obviously thinks Tolkien is still alive if he asked how many books would be written in 5 years. Either way, this kid is plain weird.
But hey, maybe he was bored. For instance, I don't like the movie Cinderella which my {16 year old} sister loves. {Yes, very strange.} But say that I got insanely bored one day. I would get online and make a Cinderella-haters website. Just for fun, ya know.
Oh, and you see how he ends with "Well, we all have our opinions"? It shows some curtesy to Tolkien lovers. At least I will give him credits for not being an idiot about the whole thing. Well, other than his lack of research. Anyway, I gave my opinion. If you want to see more, you can check out the guestbook at that site. I signed it...around 3 times.
{Oh, and I'm not going to make that Cinderella-haters website if any of you were wondering. Really, I'm not.}
EDIT: Oh yeah, to add one more thing, Rynoah, nice sig. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
