Bilbo's quote: compliment or insult? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The first part is defenetly a compliment. He regrets that he doesn't know half of them as much as he would like to.

And the second part is a compliment too. He says that he cares about them less than they really deserve. So that means he appreciates them.

I hope this didn't comfused you more then you all seem to be. Anyway, I'm not sure I was right. This is my opinion. The conclusion: THIS WAS A COMPLIMENT.
