You have not offended me in the least, except perhaps by spelling my name wrong. Quite on the contrary, I am please to hear someone opening the doors to the Final Battle as it is. I also do not feel that Tolkien is unimportant as such. If by knowing him you feel you can get more out of his books then so be it (personally I think the books lost some of their charm after reading his biography, I feel I would have disliked him if I talked to him). As to whose fantasy, I would say whoever is reading it, the books are very subjective.
