Welcome Rindowen <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> LoTR is fiction and not something to get so incredibly emotional about! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>How can you say that? Fiction or nonfiction, it doesn't matter. Books can have a tremendous impact on people's lives. They can mean a lot to someone, and not just because they like the book (or sometimes hate it for that matter). Books can teach us things and effect our personality and other things in our lives. Sometimes books can do things for us that no other person could. You can become dearly attached to one, and then it becomes a part of you. It can feel as close as a sibling or even closer. It can just be so special in somones life that they can get so emotional over it, and they have every right to.<P>I'll quote H.C. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> that is a result of many people having a very deep personal attachment to these books. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>It's just like that.<P>Rindowen, maybe the books dont mean as much to you as they do to me, but try to understand where we're coming from. Take the BarrowDowns for example. After a while, this place will almost feel like home to you. I love the atmosphere at this site. I've only been here for about 3 months, yet it feels like I've been here for ages. When this place becomes that close to you, you'll see what I mean. If you got in an argument over this site, and you were defending this site, how would you feel if someone told you not to get so emotional over it? You'd probably feel shocked, angry, insulted, and many more feelings, but most of all, you wouldn't like it.<P>I'm not angry at you. Some people just don't realize what they say somtimes. Or they forget, or just don't want to acknowledge it. Everybody makes mistakes, sometimes big, sometimes small. I know I have. And sometimes people just don't think before they do something. I have also done that. It's ok if you meant no harm. Just try to think about it first. <P>Darkside <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Willie: you will always have my support! It may be a bit slow in coming (I sometimes forget to read all the threads), but you will get it nonetheless. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>And you have my support.
