Aw, don't take it so hard. It's tough to be a group that is so into Lord of the Rings, and yet present in the company of people who are ignorant of the grandeur and wonder of Tolkien's books, and movie adaptations. Much worse, when the pretend to know/like it, or are content to remain ignorant and indifferent about it. Hang in there...most of us have been there.
