|    Tolkien Society Gone Insane?    |

      From: le@top.put.com              Disturbing to hear that the UK's longstanding Tolkien Society       has decided to embrace modernistic mentalities anathema to the       traditionalist ethos the reverent reader should imbibe from the       Arda canon.              https://www.tolkiensociety.org/2021/07/recordings-of-tolkien-and       diversity-seminar-now-available              The extreme charisma of the stories has drawn admiration from       quarters far from deserving of admiration for a long time (drug       culture types in the 1960s etc.) but if you want to be mainstream,       you need to be attuned to "touching your cap to Squire" and being       grateful for order and restored tradition.              Readers need refuge from,not repetition of,the "queer",the "trans",       and other egotisms of our own world and time.              -=-=-       The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,       at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
