David Brin's criticisms - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That article is just more hand-waving from someone who thinks they're too intellectual to take Tolkien seriously. We've discussed and refuted every sentence before, despite this being the first time we've seen it here; so it's not new enough or provocative enough to warrant a lengthy response. Mind you, I may just think that because I'm the sort of dullard who has better things to do when in Spain than to laugh at British holidaymakers.
