Oh, but it's already happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since LotR became a hugely popular book back in the 60's, LotR fans have been labled geeks. Or hippies, or something. The movies just expose us even more, but "Ringers" have been considered geeky for a while now.<P>Everything that has a large fanbase will be dissed by other people, so I don't worry about it. Let them say whatever they want to...nothing can rob me of my enjoyment of the books and the movies. Conformity is for wimps. Don't let it bother you. Just think of those people as the Hobbits who scoffed at adventures and were suspicious of Blibo. He didn't worry about what the other Hobbits thought, he kept right on associating with Elves and Dwarves!
