[QUOTE="buzzard, post: 1469577, member: 3003"] Hmmm, I have four degrees, wrote a 280 page thesis, and by your definition "have a short attention span". I recommend you be more careful in the brushes you apply to the populace. I won't go out and say Tolkein is a bad author. I'll say he's an author I don't enjoy. Casting aspersions on those who don't like him doesn't do your case any good. Though since there was an original cite which we were dicussing, I think the author of the article is a pompous buffoon. He's got an agenda and works hard to squeeze anything, no matter how outsized, into his array of examples. I didn't even bother finishing the article. Opinions like that simply aren't worth the time of reading. Why bother getting aggravated? It would probably just give him satisfaction. Ignoring him is the best response.
