I'm not really into the LOTR fandom. It's something I hear about secondhand from my mother, who is one of the Viggo people and is actually learning Quenya and goes to gatherings where people dress like the characters. And, of course, if I didn't have her and fandom_wank to interpret the batshit side of fandom for me, I would perhaps have been more scared of this nut from the fansite Council of Elrond than I am now.

Let's count how many jurisimprudence laws get broken by the OP, shall we?

FearofLeaves posts that someone named LadyRhiannon is quitting the site. She starts out mildly wanky, says she's a Faramir/Eowyn shipper (fine), and anyone who like LoTR because of Elijah is "pathetic." I'd wager that Elijah fangirls are nowhere near as pathetic as someone who actually believes she is Eowyn - which is LadyRhiannon's claim later in the post. Yes, for those of you following along at home, it means she is in effect shipping herself. The mind boggles. There's a lot of George Lucas-style retconning ("I know Elfhelm now, in fact, he's my brother and I know Imrahil too (he's my dad).") by the OP.

Predictably, there is wank. The usual suggestions that someone's medication needs to be changed, yes... but we're lucky today, because the respondents go on to banter back and forth about semantics and etymology. I_Luv_Faramir bashes the OP and, in the next sentence, wonders why people come to the site to bash people and be OMGMEEN!1! (That's gotta be a law of some kind - bashing people to prove bashing people is wrong. "Dead Man Walking Principle"?)

Enjoy.

Thanks to LJ's peaseblossom03 for the tip.

ETA: Oh, it keeps getting better. Apparently calling a batshit insane person, well, "batshit insane" is the same as martyring someone for their religion. Says meow8012: People were killed! MURDERED because they were different! What about the Crusades? You oh so wise Christians ran around on horses and killed people who weren't like them! How about slavery? Are we going to start thinking we are better than other people because they are so different to believe in somthing other than heaven and hell? You know what? The Romans quite literally threw Christians to wild animals in arenas. And then they WATCHED!!! There is no innocent religion, just as there is no perfect religion. So, we need to repsect them all. No matter what.

See, if I went around saying I was an emperor or something, just because some moistened bint threw a scimitar at me, you'd have to "repsect" that. Or else you're committing murder.

More ETA: Much love to the 'mouse (actually my LOTR-savvy mother) who found another post by meow8012 here. I'm torn on who's more nuts, the OP or her rabid beatification patrol.

"Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fools who follow him?" Indeed.

Third edit: Everything being locked down, but at least the OP post is in the comments. And we'll always have our memories.
