I read a few of the threads on this forum that you pointed out, Lord of Angmar, and they are indeed not what I look for in a forum, but, then again, since you are on their turf, I'm not surprised that your long angry post may have been moderated. I'm sure they get a lot of that and they might even look upon it as "trolling". I managed to find one thread with a link to an article on Jung and LOTR, and it also made me shake my head a bit. Footsteps of the Archetypes in the Legend of The Lord of the Rings I can't say I read it thoroughly, after I found the writer asserting that Frodo wasn't as brave as Aragorn. I changed the channel there and when he talks about Arwen saving Frodo from the Black Riders, so obviously not a book-related analysis.

I figure that everyone gets what they want out of good literature, and sometimes the good literature suffers in the popular consciousness for the association. Personally, I wouldn't pay it any more mind, because their minds are already made up, and there a lot more of them than you there. Must've stepped in a bed of fire ants! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Cheers,
Lyta
