I was amused by the first site, exassperated with oreillynet.com, but I was truly saddened and upset by the article on 'Why I Hate Lord of the Rings.' The author was very stereo-typed and biased, and he had a very closed mind towards people who liked something different than he did. He said that fans of LotR must automatically be losers who spent there life playing Dungeons and Dragons and never once caring about the real issues in the world. I personally find that untrue about myself and everyone else I've ever met who is as enthralled by Tolkien's incredible works as I am. Generally, I find them a concious. caring, empathetic, and informed group. Sow hat if we want to escape from the real world once in a while? That doesn't mean we're freaks! And not anyone I know has ever played Dungeons and Dragons!

I think people who start hate websites have way too much free time. Especially adults who start hate sites.

I'm off! See ya!
