Thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'm not offended, but I do get extremely annoyed by some of the things said on here. Not by you. Your comment was fine.
I just don't see the point in dragging it up if people hate it so much. Most of the comments are quite ridiculous, as well- a lot are merely a matter of opinion due to an extreme obsession with Tolkien or something.
Perhaps if Harry Potter weren't so famous, the books would not be a source of such comments and hatred. I could pick 100 books out of the library and find some sort of link between them and Lotr. And you would all probably say that I was being pathetic. But I think it's pathetic that Harry Potter is picked on so much for no real reason. It is not stealing the entire Lotr plot. It is an entirely separate work. Leave it alone, for god's sake.

I really do mean no offence to anyone who has made any comments on Harry Potter. I'm not directly accusing you all. It's just something that really bugs me, and I see no need to make so many unnecessary references to it. Especially as this is a Lotr forum, and other subjects are discouraged. As another subject, can we not just drop Harry Potter out of it altogether?
