Does anyone remember the the Argument sketch from Monty Pythons. If we open an Argument thread, then that will keep those who just like to say the opposite, happy. Just feed it junk and watch what happens. I do jest by the way. For many parts of Tolkiens works there are many different view points and interpretations. Look at what has happened to religion, will we have wars in the future between Balrog Wingers and Non-Wingers, shall we descend into reading from great volumes of Tolkien Dictionaries, denouncing unbelievers to be burned at the stake. I suggest you read what posters have to say, gesticulate at your screen or laugh your head off, then write a calm respectful response, telling how your views differ. I myself think there is a Man in the Moon, WHY? because Tolkien says there was, and I will hear no heretic say different.
