Offense to Elf Lovers
Rune of Mirkwood

I have been reading "stuff" submitted by some at the forum, like Annatar and his "gang" - who seem to go off into "outer space" with their comments and ramblings. I had to say something, after trying to get through all "their stuff" about Balrongs and "breeding" - but the thing that upset me the most was the offensive statement at the end about "death to the Elves"....insulting Tolkien's first love which were the Elves and the beauty and good they developed on Middle-Earth. If you hate the Elves so much and love the demons, why don't you and "your gang" develop your own dark webstite and put down/discuss all the "stuff" you want about the goodness reflected in the entire Books and the Fellowship - Go with your Balrogs and Rings, and dwell in your dark, little places -- this forum is about discussing "The Movies and Books" - not for poor comments and lack of tact! I am one, like Tolkien, who loves mythology and the Elves, as well as many other fans. Sounds like you are jealous of their beauty, strength and magic! Who could hate those qualities? I also get tired of the three ring circus these "some" produce - I just had to finally state my open opinion after reading these lengthy and unnecessary essays that don't amount to much of anything regarding the finer points of the moives. Leaving this one far behind me, I sign off with "Antolle ulua sulrim" in the elvish language...you'll just have to find your own translator~!
