My comment was probably unnecessary, in such a way that your "you had to make that last comment, didn't you" (even though I'm sure that Chris was only trying to easen up things here and restore the peace) comment was unnecessary, but nowhere in my post did I say I was right. So it was rather funny when you suddenly started to put words into my mouth implying that I ever claimed that I was. I have no idea where you even got that from the one sentence post I made. I was just stating my opinion regarding some of the "I've-read-the-book-and-I-bet-you-didn't-so-you-must-have-no-idea-what-you're-talking-about" attitude of some of the newly pop up members here. (in case you're wondering, almost all of them are gone.) Now, don't you try to put words into my mouth again and accuse me of ever saying that you should leave too. I never said that. I'm just assuming you might imply such. 🙄Just to clarify, I never believed you one bit when you said that Legolas must be 4 or 5 thousand years old, or for this matter, 2 to 3 thousand (I still don't believe it though), so I politely tried to present the more plausible possibility by posting a link that explains everything. Then you kept insisting that Legolas must be old because he felt young in Fangorn Forest, then again, I tried to explain why that must have been. Then you started being all arrogant and rude implying that I obviously have absolutely no idea of what I was talking about because I messed up with one of my info. 🙄 Then I started to post more textual clues, and challenged you to present any of yours, which you never did.
Moreover, might I say that you've been arrogant and insistent from the get go, acting as if a member such as [b]The Inkeeper
who is (or was) an avid LotR fan wouldn't know that Legolas is immortal, not to mention that you were almost questioning his knowledge at just about anything. (Seriously, even a movie fan who hasn't read the book would know that Elves are immortal. 🙄 )I know that I'm not right, and I never claimed to be, because we have no way of knowing what Legolas' exact age is. If I ever sounded rude or arrogant in any of my posts, it was a reaction to YOUR own attitude and the implications of your actions. If you got bugged by The Inkeeper's rubbing in of the fact that you're new, I'd bet that he did that because he's kinda annoyed at you too (correct me Chris if I'm wrong). We're not always rude here, in case you're wondering.
In short, I didn't initially mean to be rude towards anyone here. It's not like at the first sight of this thread, I immediately thought, "Hey, I'll post here, then crap on Dresta later!" 😱

I'm generally nice, but I can be a hell of an assh0le if provoked. [/B]
