Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

I'd be more annoyed about the misuse of "boomer" than about being called "old".
Ok Boomer.. /s
I caught myself lecturing a young recently hired colleague about about the correct use of boomer, and realized as I was talking that the kids have rewritten the rules when I was busy being old
Young people don't care about generation labels. The only divide is young vs old (with "old" being anyone older than them obviously). And "boomer" is a fun word to use as a pejorative. The fact that it makes people mad when used "incorrectly" makes it even better.
Yeah I'm getting grey hair but I CERTAINLY don't deserve getting lumped in with Boomers.
