I can say that no one can prove that God is real, yet plenty of people worship Him. Are they all insane loons?
My lips are sealed.

Anyway, I'd proudly call myself a Tolkien geek, and I see no reason to hide or feel ashamed about that (not that it shows, mind you, and like 80 % of my acquaintances probably have no clue that I know the history of Arda better than I know the history of my own country). I mean, most people like their fellows to be open about who they are if you have a certain sense of humour about it, and those who don't, well, they probably aren't worth the effort to try to impress in the first place. Obsessive people are rather tiresome though, whether they are sports-freaks, Trekkies, or Tolkien-geeks, and obsession to me signifies something unhealthy. Keep it in perspective, I suppose I'm saying.
