I hate to be a bother to anyone, especially the moderators as they do such a good job of keeping this place going. But, I would just like to say that I thought that this was a forum where people could discuss things relating to the ideas behind and within the works of the late, great JRR Tolkien.
Therefore I do not see how posting a small sketch of Arwen, one of Tolkiens characters, albeit not in a Tolkienesque style, is 'off-topic'. All I wanted was some feedback on what I had written from some scholarly people who I respect for their taste in literature and the arts. If I have offended anyone by doing so I do hereby sincerely apologise for any wrongdoing.
I shall remove my post, but leave this one, I don't know why I'm bothering, as you will only delete this one anyway but I have principles. One of these is the idea of relatively free speech on a forum.
If this dogmatic culling of anything vaguely unrelated to Tolkien is to continue then I do not feel I wish to visit this forum any longer. That probably doesn't affect you as I am only one man, but oh well.
