Annoying Amateurs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Because, Etharius: (As the title says) They're Annoying! There are some who you can't run away from, and confront you with multitudes of plagiaristic believings and false ideas. They are the ones we wish didn't not show off their fake knowledge and untrue wisdom so flagrantly. That's what this thread is about, discussing "Annoying Amatuers", and there is a point to the discussion.

And it's not that we care about what they do or don't know, it's that they show off prominently that they know exactly nothing more than the name of the book, it's author, and a character name or two. When they spread false ideas, it's not kind to other Tolkien-fans, and it's discouraging to interested young ones who would like to know more.

I agree with bilbo, this thread is about the annoying amateurs that think they know everything about lotr's just by watching the movie, it'll be like "hey , are you smart at lord of the rings?" "yah! i've seen every movie like 7 times!" "okay... prove it!" "fine, ask me a question, i'll get it right!" "who was Tom Bombadil?"
"tom bombadilaidapo? who the **** is that? you loser ask me some real questions"...............that is basically what most things happen with amateurs, and it is our privlege nay, duty to point them out and laugh at them wit ha deep HA HA HA, you know, from your diaphram. its better to be a tolkien know-it-all then just a little man that watches the movies and remembers every line they say. well that is my little speech, that'll cost yah 20 thousand each! good day!
