Because, Etharius: (As the title says) They're Annoying! There are some who you can't run away from, and confront you with multitudes of plagiaristic believings and false ideas. They are the ones we wish didn't not show off their fake knowledge and untrue wisdom so flagrantly. That's what this thread is about, discussing "Annoying Amatuers", and there is a point to the discussion.

And it's not that we care about what they do or don't know, it's that they show off prominently that they know exactly nothing more than the name of the book, it's author, and a character name or two. When they spread false ideas, it's not kind to other Tolkien-fans, and it's discouraging to interested young ones who would like to know more.
