Early-teen fans on the Barrow Downs? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'd just like to point out something (not particularly aimed at anyone, just the points in the posts):

I'm older than 'teenage'. I am clever, intelligent, etc. I like the books. I also like the films. I'm only clever at some things. I am not a clever person when it comes to Tolkien's books. I can cleverly discuss some points, not all. I like the Mirth forum because I like humour. I like the Movies forum because I like the films. I would join in at the Books forum, but I am not clever enough, nor am I welcome. I discovered that the going opinion on me was that the few posts I made in there were 'stupid' and well... basically not good or worth reading.

I am not picking at anything, I just wanted to point out my situation. Some general themes on this topic seem to be that teens hang out on Mirth, and adults on Books. I'm one of probably many exceptions. This may be a small point, but I like to make myself clear to everyone.
