If the estate had gone after the author, this would be a very different conversation; but that's not what happened. The author chose to involve Tolkiens estate, knowing the current climate around copyright.
I struggle to find sympathy for that.
Then you add on direct personal insults instead of constructive conversation and I completely check out. It's not worth my energy to have a discussion with such people.
You've clearly already checked out considering I'm not even the person who insulted you. Here's an idea, maybe don't partake in conversations you're not going to bother to even pay attention. I guarantee you'll automatically come across as less of an asshole.
I'm aware, the reply was still directed at you.
Yup, that's what I just said.
You're the third party entering the thread I created and a conversation I was having with someone else, long after I've clearly checked out.
Maybe don't involve yourself in other people's conversations and then expect their full attention.
