Well, I'm not swooning but I do want to rep a post of Esty's and I had recently given her a rep. I have been looking over old threads for posts to rep so I can again rep her but each time I try I still get the message to 'spread it around more'
Yeah, that has happened to me a few times. A little annoying at times that you have to search for posts to rate just to be able to rate a post you really liked, but not to bad. Besides, I understand the reasoning behind it-this way two school buds can't plot to vault eachother past Fordim & Davem.

Tis very true.

This is a very serious forum at it's highest level and even though I have been reading Tolkien on and off for over 20 years, it was quite daunting starting to post here; receiving a few points was a real confidence boost (sorry Fordim ).
Quite true, Mith, when I was bored one day so I just went looking for my very first posts I made on this forum, and now I look at what I'm posting today, wow. Same with, that I've been into Tolkien for some 20 years now, and I only started to reread them just now, since it's becoming more popular. I didn't have the pleasure of seeing my first points lol, I didn't discover I had a User CP until 6, or even less months ago, lol.

Well, you've read the title and are warned. On with the matter than:

Um, that'd be an advice: in case in some distant or near future, when you're well past your 500th post, you feel the urge to see your first post again, make bookmarks of them now, as the software we are now employing on the fora does not allow to search for more than recent 500 of any user's posts.

On topic:

alas, nothing to add. Or, no, wait! Yeah, um... ahem... fangirls, you say? Where would one, um... look, er, for them? I'm sure you don't think I need any, that for my friend's sake I'm asking, um, and he's, it should be added, he's...er... curios out of, um... scientific interest, yes, nothing more, definitely...

Or was that off-topic as well?

H-I-- change your screen name to Roggie of Morgoth. And wear lots and lots of flame-proof eyeliner.

"Oooo, he's so hot."

Come on, who could resist a hottie like that?

Do be careful, however, because there are those at The Downs who resist balrog-swooning on principle. I believe Bethberry tops the list. Do not incur her wrath, or she will pursue you from the depths of Moria to the peak of Zirak Zigil til she smites your ruin on the mountainside.

Surely, you mean my friend, that with high level of scientific curiosity should do that

thanks for the advice, though, I'll let him know right away!

Roggie of Morgoth has just left Hobbiton.
I'm come, stand in line, for I'm hot!

I'm come, and I have tons of... er, wossname? Ah, yes, flame-proof eyeliner on, everywhere, even my fingernails are painted black!

So, show me the species I'm scientifically interested in!

Um, do you mind partying in a lab?


PS by the master of puppets behind Roggie

Every person in sight should rep this here post negative for being off-topic, off-Tolkien and generally silly. Or maybe send Roggie warning PMs, which he would not read, as I'd be too lazy to log off and re-log on once so often

Roggie Of Morgoth wan't be posting again anyways. H-I will take care of that

Now, now, now. Helen. I see you have contributed to the delinquency of someone as we now have a Roggie of Morgoth registered and online.

But you really must qualify your comments about my anti-swoon crusade. If the swooning is done with wit and cleverness and intelligence--in short, if it is done with the highest standards of Truth and Good Art--why, I don't see that it should lead us to the spiralling depths of darkness where we would be overrun with fangirls. It might even hold out some hopefulness that some fangirls might find some level on the path to Transcendence, depending on how well those (eye)lines are drawn.

EDIT (See, HI, I make my reason clear): The culprit has beaten me to the post. "But at my back, I always hear, the wings of HerenIstarion hurrying near." Apologies to Turambar and Rimbaud.

And those wings had best be repping again soon or Helen will become our top reputation giver.
