That would be rich, seeing as how Tolkien always denied anything in the LOTR to be metaphorical.

No, that's just the LSD. You might want to stop taking that.

Well, he did admit there was some environmentalism in there, but yes, he was usually confused when anyone tried to find some overarching themes in his excuse to use all the languages he invented.

if one goes about this line of thought, there's a lot of latent homoeroticism in LOTR, just sayin'

Would anyone like to tell this man about the letter Tolkien wrote to the Nazis?

Or Dutchman is just good at shoehorning fantasy fiction into situations they have no business being shoehorned into.

These people are really trying to tie in their favorite thing on their moronic beliefs.

Thinking is not something you do, at all, well, Dutchman. Try something else.

You're right, there *is* a lot of latent homoeroticism in Lord of the Rings. What else, in a world with almost no women?

Except that Tolkien was neither anti-semitic or a raving nutter and just wrote stories so he could use all the cool languages he invented.

Nah. Tolkien was a hack who wrote books for 12 year old fanboys that were made into very pretty, very boring movies.
