A Disturbing Development - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It was very disturbing seeing semi-serious Tolkien discussion interspersed with the regalia of hatred. Tolkien himself was vehemently anti-Nazi and would certainly not have appreciated his name and his work being affiliated with such views.

LoTR has, unfortunately, been interpreted by some as racist, so it is not entirely surprising to find such a forum at a website such as that. Sad, but not surprising.
