It does take away from its integrity. It reduces LotR from higher learning to childish obsession. If we let this happen, I fear I will cease to love Middle Earth. For if others rise up to and destroy it with additions and attractions, all purity will be lost. It will cease to be a scholarly work. It will become as Star Wars and Harry Potter and Star Trek. It will be left a story; a name without meaning. And the meaning is what lies truly dear to my heart.
