Gurthang is 19, and has been 19 for the best part of last week and litlle into current one, as his birthday was on July 7
He’s been around for two years, joining the Downs in August 2003, but, according to his signature, still remembers the time when he was unaware of the forum
Unlike many, he’s not afraid of starting threads. His first ever thread –
Is it ALL gone? happened in The Books as early as on the tenth day of his membership
He likes discussing controversial issues and paradoxes, making good PR-titles for threads like
Sauron should have won and
LoTR and Wheel of Time
He started 23 threads so far, and yours truly participated in one of them:
The Gift of Speech
His main hunting grounds are The Books and The Movies, though he also likes having a little fun in Mirth and drops by Novices and Newcomers from time to time as well
His posts tended to be informative or seeking information from the start - i.e. What happened? When happened? How happened? Now his interest seems to switch towards evaluation and theory as of 'Why happened? According to what and what philosophical/theological model?'
He has a developed sense of justice, urging him, per instance, to post in defense of Peter Jackson who, he feels, is snapped at more than is necessary and who have done quite a job in making LoTR into a movie
Gurthang does not have a homepage, unless we count the
piece of paper he sits on to serve the purpose
His screenname translates as Iron of Death, and is the name given by Turin to sword Anglachel forged anew for him in Nargothrond.
