The racist elements in Tolkien's writing Larry - 29/01/2012 01:31:02 PM 2436 Views
She has some points, of course. Legolas - 29/01/2012 02:25:32 PM 1223 Views
Quite a few points Larry - 29/01/2012 02:40:45 PM 1317 Views

I don't find the tone blunt; I find it leading, patronizing and often wrong or inferring too much. Tom - 30/01/2012 01:43:27 AM 1225 Views
Agreed - reading it, I struggled to find any redeeming qualities snoopcester - 30/01/2012 07:32:58 PM 1321 Views
Agreed, in general. The tremendous bad faith and sophistry turn me off, though. Dan - 29/01/2012 09:31:04 PM 1417 Views
Mostly agreed with the article, but thought she undermined herself with her own racism. Rebekah - 29/01/2012 02:50:11 PM 1286 Views
I wish I could agree with you, but I can't in full Larry - 29/01/2012 02:58:05 PM 1285 Views
I'm not bothered by the tone. Annoyance is justified. Rebekah - 29/01/2012 03:03:07 PM 1230 Views

Do you really believe that? nossy - 30/01/2012 02:44:19 PM 1292 Views

Yes. nossy - 29/01/2012 10:41:15 PM 972 Views
Oh, also: Rebekah - 29/01/2012 03:07:03 PM 1032 Views
Well, I'll be honest. nossy - 29/01/2012 10:34:46 PM 1162 Views
Let me try to summarize some of her points with the invective filtered out, then. Legolas - 29/01/2012 10:48:24 PM 1359 Views
Thank you. nossy - 29/01/2012 11:10:13 PM 1392 Views
What the hell, might as well go and play devil's advocate, right? Legolas - 30/01/2012 04:50:30 PM 1293 Views
I expected that. nossy - 30/01/2012 05:39:59 PM 1198 Views
Of course you did. I'm predictable that way. Legolas - 30/01/2012 10:28:10 PM 1189 Views

I <3 you, but there are several very key things we are not going to agree on. nossy - 31/01/2012 10:02:22 PM 1543 Views
Oh. Legolas - 31/01/2012 11:07:52 PM 1189 Views
nossy - 01/02/2012 12:17:59 AM 1288 Views
Hmm? snoopcester - 31/01/2012 10:10:22 PM 1112 Views
Yeah. I got to reading Encyclopedia of Arda just now, and it told me the same thing. Legolas - 31/01/2012 10:35:54 PM 1036 Views
As a sort of group answer (I've been mostly absent from forums the past two days) Larry - 31/01/2012 10:45:55 PM 1380 Views
I don't mind if you tell me I'm out of line here, but nossy - 31/01/2012 11:55:04 PM 1204 Views
I'm rarely ever offended Larry - 01/02/2012 01:54:58 AM 1394 Views
She was referring specifically to the Twitter "conversation" I had with the blogger. Rebekah - 01/02/2012 09:05:28 AM 1185 Views
Yes. nossy - 01/02/2012 10:47:22 AM 1318 Views
It makes me wonder what she thinks is happening in Zimbabwe, for example. Rebekah - 01/02/2012 11:13:11 AM 1344 Views
I've been thinking about that. nossy - 01/02/2012 11:29:18 AM 1146 Views
Re: I've been thinking about that. Rebekah - 01/02/2012 11:40:11 AM 1407 Views
We're nuts. nossy - 01/02/2012 03:09:15 PM 1146 Views
I know that nossy - 01/02/2012 11:15:48 AM 1203 Views
That blog post was mostly good, but the exception is a rather large one. Legolas - 01/02/2012 08:35:57 PM 1066 Views
Do you mean exception*S*? Macharius - 02/02/2012 04:27:03 AM 1136 Views
The Hobbit came out in 1937. Tom - 30/01/2012 01:35:45 AM 1108 Views
What's a neckbeard? And why am I supposed to care? *NM* Tom - 30/01/2012 01:29:07 AM 623 Views
neckbeards are when the person (either intentionally or through misfortunate genetics)... LadyLorraine - 30/01/2012 03:21:09 AM 1115 Views
She hates Tolkien's writings to begin with ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 30/01/2012 06:34:29 AM 1254 Views
The tone of the article is massively annoying DomA - 30/01/2012 06:45:19 AM 1293 Views
acrackedmoon is a racist, sexist bore. And I don't even like Tolkien. *NM* ranagrande - 30/01/2012 01:14:17 PM 1276 Views
I laughed while reading it A Deathwatch Guard - 30/01/2012 04:30:50 PM 1159 Views
