Very respectful of each other...and a hint of growing friendship. In the book, their friendship starts growing in Lothlorien...
(BTW,guys, next time show some originality...a little less counting! :) )
To: Overtaxed
Now there are SNEAK critics to tell people how to sneak better?
BTW 4141 is the number of the last post on the original thread.
That petition is a riot in it's utter failure and the responses they kept wll only embarrass them. I am contemplating an email to the creator.
To: HairOfTheDog
[sniff] Counting is too obvious to be called a proper sneak.
To: HairOfTheDog
We should compose a joint email and sig it, "The Hobbits of FreeRepublic"

I just actually sent this one:
____________________
Dear Kevin Klerk:
Your statement: Peter Jackson has decided to tastelessly name the sequel "The Two Towers". The title is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Center. In this post-September 11 world, it is unforgiveable that this should be allowed to happen.
You must by now realize that you have made quite a fool out of your self with this petition, which apparently has about 15 valid signatures on it. Why don't you close it out and take it down. Spare me the torment of feeling sorry for you any longer.
From the disclaimer posted by PetitionOnline.com, who obviously want to distance themselves from it, some real facts:
Please Note: The Two Towers is the title of the JRR Tolkien book originally published in 1954, the second book of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The title was thus established some 47 years prior to the attacks on the World Trade Center towers, and there is no evidence to suggest that Peter Jackson meant anything by continuing the same title other than faithfulness to the beloved Tolkien classics. Furthermore, the two distant, opposing towers in the Tolkien classic have very little if anything in common with the two matching towers of the World Trade Center. — PetitionOnline.com
In other words, it is the name of the book, stupid.

Oh, you were much more polite than I would have been! I thought for a minute this was maybe a joke, just to get fans riled, but if that was it, surely they'd have left the angry "You are an Idiot" signatures up...

The signatures that lasted - the "keepers" are mostly idiotic.

It's a shame that humans can function without brain cells, isn't it?

Overtaxed has figured out that she can prevent anyone from celebrating the passing of the old hobbit hole posts by continuing to post to the thread. hehehehe. I am considering my options.
To: 2Jedismom
Very good... send him the link!
To: HairOfTheDog
The Old Hole wasn't locked up! [sigh] An empty Hole, a lonely Hole is depressing.
To: Overtaxed
Nope - unlocked and unguarded all this time.
To: Overtaxed; JenB
Hmmm, I'm locked out of the picture here at home too...
Do I have something set up incorrectly? (We dwarves don't excell with the technical side of life).
To: Corin Stormhands
Hmm, maybe you just have a nasty firewall?

Don't worry about it. Who knows what the problem is, but thanks for trying.
