That's good to know. :) And fortunately, I'm gaining some degree of ground as well -- it helps that a lot of people here are ridiculously nice and supportive. :)

Hee -- I want one too. Seriously. :)

But yeah -- hardcore non-sane LOTR fandom might not be hardcore enough (although if that's the case, I shudder to think what could possibly top it. XD), but let's say that their stupidity was enough to prematurely raise my blood pressure, really. XD
