I find there's different levels of involvement in a fandom one can get into.

You can totally submerge yourself in the social aspect of a fandom, getting into serious debate communities, but I have found that doing that runs the risk of running into the elitist types you wish to avoid.

You can find yourself a small corner where there's a group of like-minded folk, though that does not guarantee that you haven't fallen in with a group who are just elitist about things you agree with.

You can stay back, absorbing the fanfic and fanart, commenting to stuff you like, but that can be isolate you from a good deal of the fandom even while it protects you from the elitist types.

Or you can be a fan of the books and/or movies and not get involved in the fandom at all.

All those options have their pros and cons.

I still encourage you to at least watch the movies, though I'd suggest the extended edition, not just for the extra scenes, but for the convenient break to change discs, where you can go to the bathroom, get food, or just plain tale a break before watching the rest.

I will also say that if you do get around to reading the books, give The Silmarillion a try as well.
