When you post something that clearly and distinctly indicates what you find so offensive in Kane’s book, I will respond again.

Until you do, it is mostly useless to respond to your posts on Kane’s...

I disagree.

Then you might try stating your position clearly.

I largely don't agree with Carl Hostetter’s points at all. Anyone can read them at...

Finally, Galin, your are getting down to the discussions in Arda Reconstructed itself moving away from what I perceive as innuendo against the messenger which surely misses that point. If the...

“I would have thought” is far from crystal clear. “I would have thought you would have made yourself” is even less clear. What is the point of all those woulds? To avoid making yourself clear?

You are welcome.



I agree.



And you very carefully did not imply that Christopher Tolkien purposely did any of the things for which you blame him. When one is attempting to make a...

I don’t see any point in continuing this

You are not going to change your opinion so far as I can tell. And I am not going to change my opinion from anything said here.

Kane didn’t raise the issue of misogyny. In the discussion which you cite, Kane very clearly points out that he never raised an accusation of misogyny in his book and never speculated on Christopher...

I don’t see that that thread helps at all. I see that my own statement is actually somewhat weaker than what Kane claims.
