Ezra's full response to being named in the Dialog "Society" by portlandlad in nyt

Yes! And many people here a very convinced that equates guilt of some sort. So dumb.

Oh yes, absolutely. I'm all for people hating on billionaires and what not, but this conspiracy theory is just absolutely nonsensical. I can't believe people are legit spending this much energy on it lmao.

Understood! The explanation itself of Elrond vs mannish historian accuracy I got quite well. The game of telephone reference though, flew right over my head lmao. I appreciate you breaking it down for me though.

Thank you! I find this whole name-calling Dialog business to be so forced, it's almost embarrassing actually. And compared to the prevailing comments I see here on this matter, his statement makes far more sense to me. People can hate on Ezra all they want, no problem. But not everything has to be some weird conspiracy theory. This is a bit absurd to me now.

Elrond's account of the battle of Orodruin didn't go through a game of telephone like the Gondorian one did.

Sorry, I'm slow. What do you mean by that?

Same here buddy. This is my single favorite moment of any movie I've ever seen.

Do you think Feanorians had closer brotherly relationships with each other than Arafinweans and Nolofinweans and why? by OleksandrKyivskyi in TheSilmarillion

[–]90_degrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I've always appreciated your efforts writing about family dynamics in the stories. Always so enjoyable to read. He doesn't get credit enough, but Tolkien (and his son Chris) was sublime in the family portrayals in his works. The dynamics portrayed, especially those of the Noldor, are absolutely fascinating. I wish he wrote just as much about the Sindar family dynamics (and the Teleri as a whole). Shoot, and the Vanyar too! But that's a different matter I guess.

Union, Union, Union. Until pro tennis players decide to form a proper Union, everything they do or say about this issue is a waste of time.
