I think what determines your annoyingness or lack thereof about LotR is the reason why you value the books/movie. If you've only seen the movie, but you like it because it's a good story and it portrays courage and standing up for what's right, you're probably what I would call a more "legitimate" Tolkien fan than someone who has read the books too, but only because they want to read the bits with Legolas, or they think it's funny how Tolkien writes things that sound sexual to people who have a sick mind to begin with (e.g. about people being "queer"), or they like to laugh at how dumb the hobbits are. Really, I know people like this, and it's not pretty. Most other books would be kinda ruined by their carping about how this or that part is all stupid or gross or whatever, but not LotR, luckily for me. Stupid fangirls. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
If you do tell them off, do me a favor and do it in Quenya, ok? Then, no harm done [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
