Tolkienists - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've always gone by Tolkienite, but I'm growing pretty fond of Ent-hugger. I think, that as the frequenters of different sections of the 'Downs have their own nicknames (for example, Mirthies), there's no reason why different types of fans can't have thier own. Example: Ringer might go for a movie fan, and Tolkienite/ist for a book fan. But then again, there are specialized interests, as I've noticed by the developing terms (thank you, Keeper of Dol Goldur) that I've heard in reference to myself: Glorfiholic, Viggonite, Faraboriholic... Why can't we all just pick what we prefer, instead of trying to decide on one name?

PS- It's Trekker, not Trekkie
