I don't feel angry, or tweaked, and I didn't attribute any ill intent toward you.
I don't consider Tolkien to be sacred scripture, but I do consider it great literature. Even Shakespeare is "make believe", but it contains much of value. Heck, even some of the Saturday cartoons have value.
The thing that concerned me were all the hippies proclaiming Tolkien's books as religious text. They must have read the Cliff's Notes version while stoned.
If you want a real firestorm, make fun of women who read romances.
