I had to make a short reply

I posted a short reply to this article:

Your criticism of Tolkien's poetry was the saddest thing I've read in years. Not because the poems in question were wonderful and I felt that that you had maligned them, but rather because you took the intentionally humorous verses and purposely misrepresented their context so that you could rile Tolkien fans. What a media-hungry troll you are. You even sucked me in. But at least I got to call a troll a troll and didn't have to resort to shouting things at the world so someone would pay attention to me for 15 minutes.

not much, but it made me feel better <img src=smile.gif ALT="">
