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.
