I can emphathise with your feelings. I was slammed once for daring to criticise Tolkien's style--musn't fan the flames of anti-Tolkien sentiment amongst the fandom.

However, the policy has served the Downs well in that it has saved us from likely tsunamis from Potter philes, Lewis lovers, Conan buffs, and hoards of fantasy gamers. It also provides the intellectual challenge of forming questions and threads in clever ways so that they are relevant and are clearly seen to be relevant. I think Ibrin is on to something.
