I don't know... author's intent or the reader's perception of Merry? Getting a little to close to the C-thread, methinks...

Apparently Mormegil didn't have access to the original
manuscript of Letter 679, since it ends with

Quote:

And as I explained to Jack and the Useless Quack I
have always hated hobbits. I only added yet another one,
and called him "Merry", because of the incessant whining of
my spoiled rotten son Christopher (what a brat!). And the kid actually
took seriously the bits about Merry I sent him when he was in South
Africa avoiding the war for years so I had to keep Merry in the
tale.

Minor works character. No more reason needed.

Diamond I call upon your sense of decency and moral outrage to help stem this tide!

Also any others who have any appreciation for any of Tolkien's other works to join in this battle for their right to exist.

First off, thanks to Volo, Mac and Rune for your vote. I was very bored with the Bullroarer.

I feel I have kind of a debt...

And whatever the Professor himself said I like Merry...

Well, Morm, I must thank you for drawing me back into this world. I had previously noted that the Chief Warg was not present in this contest (why?) and so left the arena in disgust.

But on closer inspection today, I find that Tar-Aldarion (!) is in it.

I can barely remember a more foul injustice! Morm, if I help you in your quest, will I have your support in outing the single most boring character in Tolkien's works?
