I rather hope that it doesn't, at least as far as another quarrel on the forum would be concerned. I'm just asking if anyone has knowledge of any further statements by Tolkien, in-universe or out, on...

Feel free to.

In a historical sense, such things are VERY dull. A brief interlude of blind nature interfering in the vastly more interesting sphere of human affairs. Not even worthy of notice,...
