I know it's not the same thing, but it's still really weird how in one moment you'll get a raging boner for Death of the Author, and the next go frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of Tolkien the World Builder. Also, to second the previous anon, that was rude.

I know it's not the same thing, but it's still really weird how in one moment you'll get a raging boner for Death of the Author, and the next go frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of Tolkien the World Builder.

Because his work doesn't make a lick of sense when read in the same subgenre as Ringworld, which is 90% about the goofy imaginative stuff Niven put into the setting. (Not that Niven's physics really stands up all that well.) Given a choice between praising Hobbit, LOTR, and Silmarillion as good fiction developed around a shared theme, or especially bad history, geography, and economics, why not look into what makes the work strong?

And it's a bit rude to complain about rudeness and then use phrases like "raging boner" and "frothing at the mouth."

nayrt - Maybe those phrases aren't polite, but it doesn't mitigate the rudeness of going out of your way to be rude to people who think Tolkien is a good world builder. It's a matter of opinion. OP and the people you responded to with your less than civil ranting managed to express theirs without tearing anybody down. It's a pity you couldn't do the same.
