Peter Jackson has improved Tolkien

You're the victim? Right.

I've taken debate, and though I'm by no means good at it, I do recognize some tactics you've been using. Mainly, twisting words to your advantage and misdirection (ie, leading the thread off topic with your little parody...but wait, haven't you berated others for what you think is 'going off topic'? Hmm...). Sadly, you aren't very good at it, because it hasn't poked any holes in the opposing sides points. In most cases, it actually damages your own case!

Also, you have constantly stated that this is not a 'film vs. book' thread, but what else could it be? There is no way you could compare the two men without it involving the book and the film. PJ made a movie, he did not write a book. Tolkien wrote a book, he did not make a film.

Oh, I see! You're trying to tell us that PJ improved Tolkien the man? Hmm, I'd like to see where you get this idea. I haven't heard about the Professor raising from the dead and asking PJ to teach him. </sarcasm>
