Huh. Someone has been DM-ing (with what I assume are sock-puppet accounts) telling me I'm wrong and the correct #LOTR quote is "You shall not pass!". As they're rather boring I just block & report them. It seems server admins have removed all or most of the accounts
If you're the troll: thanks for the incentive to spend time with the books. Also: WTF dude.
For everyone else: I took the opportunity to go through my English copies of the fellowship and took photos of the actual text:

So the exacte quote is either:
'You cannot pass,' (basic bitch mode Gandalf)
'You cannot pass.' (this . is . your . second . warning . Gandalf)

I love that you have the one ring in the first picture and the Lego versions of the involved parties in the second!

Ok. Done for now.
To all who've only watched the movies: try the books. They're engaging and fun. Like, even my two yr old has it in their book cabinet right next to Mr. Tickle.

@Pepijn I love the petty energy of looking it up at least 3 times to throw it in the face of some rando.

@EvilCartyen Most of the times I can happily ignore Things That Are Wrong On The Internet.
Some days it just gets to you..

@juliette Well, to be fair, he did create multiple accounts with which to be wrong, so he might not have let it go.

@Pepijn I can respect that, I'd do the same thing. I have done the same thing many many times before.
