Grey Istar, your reply I must say stirs up the pot more than Hawkeye's.<P>Folks are free to express their opinions here as long as they do not attack other board members or use orcish language.<P>I suppose insulting Tolkien himself could also be grounds for problems.<P>However, critiquing the movies [ and oh are they asking for it from a Books oriented Tolkien site] <B>is totally acceptable here</B>, what I find <B>unacceptable</B> is your reasoning: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>There is a point when critque becomes blaintant hatred and unacceptance despite all reasoning.
