Survivor Appendix N Authors- LEIBER WINS!

[Paul Farquhar]

You among others have been claiming that he is not a foundational influence.

Strawman strawman strawman

You (amongst others) have been the Tolkien is the foremost and premiant influence, to the extent that nothing much else matters.

Others have been arguing against that.

Well, at least now I know you're being deliberately disingenuous now.

Pot meet kettle. Look in a mirror. <insert other sayings that mean the same thing>

Easy guys. Let's face it, based upon how people are voting, most of the people still in this thread are being disingenuous. Anyone claiming Tolkien was not a significant influence is quantifiably wrong. That said, he is consistently getting downvotes because people have axes to grind or just spite against other posters. And that's okay, since it's well within the "rules" of this post. Really, no need for anyone to get mad. I'm not mad at lowkey, and he keeps upvoting my downvote target! Relax, and have fun.

ROFL Never said that. If you're going to call out a Strawman, try not to engage in one as you do.

Others have been arguing against that.

You should pay better attention when you read. The claim that he was not a foundational influence has been explicitly and repeatedly made.

I'm not upset. I just give what I get. The debate was civil until he took it in a downward direction.
