At first I voted down Tolkien because I like other authors better. Then after reading responses, it has less to do with him, and more to do with some of his fans who feel the need to insult anyone who doesn’t like the same things they do. Sorry Mr. Tolkien, but some of your fans are insufferable.

 

[tglassy]

Care to site your sources there? Cause the only insults I’ve seen have been directed at Tolkien fans.

 

[Sacrosanct]

You, for one. Calling anyone who down voted Tolkien a hater (because they couldn’t possibly have any other reason) certainly isn’t a compliment. I found that comment especially eye roll worthy when you admitted you hadn’t even read any of the other authors.

Yep some fans have strong opinions and they can rub the wrong way. Don’t get too invested in this vote it’s a self evidently NOT a way of determining who is most popular or whatever - just the one who survives. If you want to set up a most popular poll I’m sure you could do it. In this being popular is like wearing a target in your back. The popular options get hammered because someone is sick of them.

(Edit: or more often sick of their fans and conflates the author with the fans)

It’s the system.

Yes it is just the system and it is just an opinion and everyone is entitled to them.

But the rhetoric and use of words like hate against someone who just happens to have a different view than yours (and in this case its just which author you like) is ridiculous, though sadly this is now just a reflection of the world we currently live in, 'if you disagree with me then you are a traitor, a deviant whatever else' this is a truly poor state of affairs and does it really need to extend to this group and all the things we have in common.

It just makes me sad.

Sure I get that. But it’s fan hate dont take it too seriously is all I’m saying.

I live in a two sports team town (Australian Rules Football) and many (not all) people who support team A say that they hate team B. It’s a fan thing. Don’t take it too seriously imo.

I support one team and dislike others (often ones who have been more successful than my team. Jealousy? ). I don’t hate any other teams but my dislike can be significant. Some of my firiends say they hate the team I support - sucks to be them, we’ve had a agood year so far this year
