Yet another call by me.

I also disagree with your call, Imladris. And this following suggestion seems out of place:

Where else do you want HP criticized? On a HP forum? Certainly not. Where then? Maybe in relation to something it is similar with. This is not bashing and it's not done only to annoy you or other HP fans (which, I am too, btw). This is simply stating an opinion in order to prove a point, most of the times (as I've seen from the examples you provided). Nobody just starts a topic to say: This is why HP sucks and LOTR is way better!
One thing I do have a problem with is when someone brings religion into the discussion - this is when it all goes to hell, if you'll pardon the pun. LOTR+HP+ Religion = pointless thread.

LOL - how ironic. I followed the link that HP provided and found a post of yours, Imladris, (back then you hadn't read HP yet), but that didn't stop you from criticizing it, and I posted once or twice in defence of it. Haha! Excuse me while I have a good laugh - there's so few things that I can laugh about these days...
