A Disturbing Development - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Being Jewish (by blood, at least), I found that forum slightly terrifying, but not least because of the idea that people like that can turn anything into a "proof" for their opinion. Even a fantasy trilogy...

I noted, however, that it said in different places on the forum that there'd been interviews with Tolkien, but that in some it said that he was an anti-semite, and in others that he was anti-Hitler. Could any of you confirm either of those? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img](I can't say I really trust the people on the forum to give acurate information...)
