Touché

I'm an intriguer, which I admit freely ,

Being an intriquer, I can not help twisting and slithering a bit before ackowledging defeat - pages 4 and 5, or maybe 5 and 6, those even more lost in the famous Mists of Time, deal with some 'Shop on the borders of Fairyland'. If there be such a shop, and it be seen by Tolkien who told us about it, than moral issue would be applicable to it as well?

Besides, relating it to Canonicity issue, if such an assumption (option 1 in origin of Moral Law) were imperative for the Author, and he made it explicit in his letters...

Ok, ok, don't pay heed...

PS 'Morals and real life' moves on to PM, or so I assume. My inbox is open
