It's ok not to like Tolkien, or even to not read Tolkien.

Just don't rant about how he ruined all of fantasy fiction.

The problem in the fandom is not the issues between people who hate Tolkien all together and those who love him - that's a fan/non-fan fight. The in-fandom fight is between people who love the movies and think they are a good translation of the books, and those who think the movies fail big time for changing details, like Tom Bombadil, who rescued Frodo and got him to Rivendell, who said memorable lines that PJ swapped around, the fact that the movies left out the Scouring of the Shire (the vision in Galadriel's Mirror notwithstanding).

It's the fight between movie fan and strict book fan.

(There's also the fight between people who stubbornly use bad Elvish and people who will not back down about properly learning Sindarin before you even think of using it. I saw one of those fights back in '04.)
