Bergil, I have been keeping a close eye on this discussion, and I cannot see where you take your opinion that anyone is attempting to insult Tolkien. The question here, and most have understood it well enough to differentiate, concerns personal opinions on a character that he wrote. Each and every member is entitled to express his/her opinion, and it is expected that all do it in a polite way. Should the discussion get too far afield, one of the moderators or administrators will step in. That has not been necessary yet, and knowing my fellow Downers, I doubt that it will be.
