Hey, we aren't a religious cult (are we?!

).
I like Tolkien, you like Tolkien, but some people don't like Tolkien and they are entitled to their opinions, and indeed to voice those opinions in print - what with living in a free society and all that.
I've got lots of friends who think much along the lines of the above writer. That's fine with me, we just talk about other things. And it doesn't diminish my own enjoyment of the books or the films in the least.
