I changed my username to Luin. It is short for Luinilote. It is a name I was given when I was roleplaying as a Tolkien elf.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Partially an educated guess.Exactly Shoetoyou!How did you know that?
I have loved Tolkien for almost 40 years, recognized the Luin as “blue”, assumed the lote comes from the same root as Lothlorien “the dreamflower”, so put two and two together... blue flower = bluerose...
The Elvish is pretty, Luinilote..

Yep. Taken directly from The Lord of the Rings. I can’t really claim to speak Elvish, but it’s fun to try."A star shines on the hour of our meeting". Is that correct?

Lovely! It is fun to speak Elvish, I agree. Have you seen The Lord of the Rings movies? I felt they were really beautiful. What did you think?

I did see the movies, thought they were beautifully done, but was a little disappointed with a few changes from the books (but as one who has read the books at least 40 times, I have a preconceived idea of everything about them, and no movie could do it complete justice). I was very impressed with the quality of the production, though.

Wow! that is amazing that you have read the books at least 40 times. That's beautiful. They are amazing books. I am glad you did like the movies for the most part. The quality of the production was very good.

Some books are so engaging that they lend themselves to being re-read over and over; while other readers who might in theory believe the same thing don't find them to be so at all.

It is fun to read books over and over. I have actually not read the full Lord of the Rings. I hope to one day. Ive only read some of The Silmarillion. Ive also seen all the movies.Some books are so engaging that they lend themselves to being re-read over and over; while other readers who might in theory believe the same thing don't find them to be so at all.

They are about US military and secret service and police life; the descriptions are so accurate, even if the language is unfortunately a little colorful at times (I guess this is accurate also).I have never read WED Griffin. It sounds like you love his works

A lot of men are into military matters; some women are, some are not. It's probably the case that either one likes WEB Griffin or one does not. Even with me, there are some things I don't like about his books, but overall their descriptions and sense of inexorable process and tension-driven events are very well done.
Some women greatly appreciate the military and this is why some women would greatly appreciate WEB Griffin's works. (Some women are themselves in the military or follow military matters; and of course so many military spouses identify with the military, get patriotic tattoos, etc.) Overall it would be fair to say that WEB Griffin tends to be a man's author, but by no means restricted to men.

Very nice! It seems that people who are in the military or have a fascination with the military would do well to read his books.
