[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7271149, member: 15700"] Clearly you completely ignored my sentence (even though you quoted it) where I said that "no more than other" does not mean "little or no". They are completely different things. And I'll also point out, re: the wording of the poll, that just a few posts after you made this one, you just made the same argument that I made. I.e., Some of the poll answers do not fit and overlap. Option 2 includes both "little influence" but also "no more than." It is entirely reasonable, even by your own admission after making this post, that someone could choose option 2 while still thinking Tolkien had more than just a little influence. Therefore, it's the reason I asked to actually find quotes. Same for you [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION]. You just made that argument again right above this post. Where are these actual arguments people are making that say that Tolkien had little or no influence? The only arguments I'm seeing are people saying that he didn't have as much influence as other people are arguing. Which means something completely different that what you are ascribing. [/QUOTE]
