The New Hobbit Hole

Elf magic?

MPEG compression?

[Sam Cree]

I'm getting it anyway, along with the regular one, like everyone else :-)

Lothlorien Time?

Will be cool.

My pony got an extra good backscratch tonight. I started to brush him, and he was hamming it up so much how could I not? Wish I had a video.

How do you think elves take care of squirrel problems?

Oh, I'm sure Elves never had a squirrel "problem". They probably had a deep and abiding respect and love for squirrels, not for any particular use squirrels may have had, but simply as living creatures different from themselves, unique in their own squirrel-ness, an expression of the grand Theme of Ilúvatar, which gave Shape to the World.

And, squirrels probably made pretty good targets for bow practice.

Lothlorien Time?

That gets my vote! No matter how long it actually runs, it never seems long enough. :)

I'm up past my bedtime. Good night all!

[Sam Cree]

That's very eloquent

Busy, busy, busy, that's me.... Unfortunately, I won't be home tomorrow night. I'll have to decide whether to tape it or not. From what I've gathered, no one from LOTR was available to attend the MTV awards, since they're all doing more filming in NZ right now. I also heard that they taped a hobbit acceptance speech for the "Best Film" category--I think they must have done it on set, because I heard that the guys were in costume and everything. That should be loads of fun, lol...

[Penny1]

Awww, thanks, I hope so too...my real life sure is interfering with my online fun these days!!! :(

[Overtaxed]

Maybe they were illegal-immigrant squirrels.

I wouldn't put it past them!

Ummm....how do you think Legolas got to be such a good shot?

[Corin Stormhands]

That is a big no-no, the moderators like to hunt these types down.

I'm going out on a limb here, but we're not sure that it wasn't a moderator. Just to end the thread and make a point.

[Corin Stormhands]

Morning All!

[Overtaxed]

Good Morning!

I love coffee, I love tea.
I love my java, java it loves me.
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup. Aahhhh!

If that's the case then it would seem to be a rather disturbing development. I thought the whole point of the Religion Forum was to get us out of everyone else's hair and to allow us to have a freer flow of "dialogue" with each other.

What point could a moderator possibly want to make in that fashion?

Thanks for the coffee OT.

*sip* Aahh!

I would also hope that if the person was proved to be a moderator in disguise that they would be dealt with severely by the management.

I know you guys are around here somewhere. We are just too close to the Precious for everyone to have up and disappeared.

You're right, the point of the Forum was to get us out of the "news" area. But the end affect has been to raise the intensity of the debate.

JR doesn't like the flame wars, and rightfully so.

JR doesn't like the flame wars, and rightfully so.

He knew the flame wars would intensify and made statements to the effect that he was going to allow for such things.

I guess our problems would be solved if the participants would start to act like grown-ups instead Holy Warriors. I read a book recently, fiction set during the Crusades. When the Crusaders entered Jerusalem they killed everything they could lay sword to, Muslim, Jew, Christian, it didn't matter to them. They were liberating Jerusalem for God and no one was going to stand in there way, not even fellow believers. I think some have that same mindset. They are going to liberate FR for God and no one will stand in their way.
