Aw, c'mon tumhalad, not this again! What "thoughts, opinions, rebukes?" can we come up with now that we haven't already provided the several other times somebody or other has criticised Tolkien on ideological grounds, and it's got you worried?

Look, you don't need the permission of China Miéville, David Brin, Michael Moorcock, the loony fanboys at Stardestroyer.net, random Amazon reviewers, or anyone else to like Tolkien's writing. Heck, you don't even need my permission!

Besides, writers are notorious for jealousy and back-stabbing. Did you think the world of literature was one big happy family?
