Getting a bit touchy about our beloved fictional writer, are we Ghaust? You dissapoint me, really. As brilliant as one might be, if he looses connection with reality I consider him a madman, yes. Spending almost your entire life dedicated to "creating" a world of fantasy were "orks" and "elves" live, "inventing" whole new languages for them and the like seems like enough evidence he had a screw missing. Don't take me wrong, he probably was brilliant. Just not the type of guy I'd spend even a minute with. This includes all people that spend hours and hours behind a computer screen, getting hard-ons with digital women and being the people they always wanted to be but never could (actually never tried) in their real lives. And oh, I know plenty of those. This, of course, also applies to the bookworms that spend ridiculus amount of time reading fantasy, locking themselves in their protective shell and dreaming of this "perfect" world forever.

Oh, he did not invent languages for the elves, orcs and other such races he had come up with.

He invented races (and their related histories) for the languages he had come up. Big difference.

He was a linguist, after all, y'know, and a folklore enthusiast.

Also, all this while he had a succesful career as a professor of Anglo-Saxon and later English language and literature in Oxford, and also had a succesful, life-long marriage with his beloved Edith, with whom he had no less than four children.

The elven languages and the whole Middle-Earth shebang was but a hobby to him. I fail to see how exactly he lead a pathetic non-life.

hey now , this thread started with the intention of providing something positive to the members participating ..hardly the place for discussing our views on the topic of "reality", or insulting people with stereotypes ..

just enjoy the thread

It's the internet, I'm afraid - it's only a matter of time before someone decides it's time to end the party and/or bring in the hate.

my vote goes for deze guyz!

Good, good, a meter-long blade is always nice to skewer into one's opponent's body.
