A language more secret and terrible than the tongue of Mordor?!

Professor of History Timothy Burke recently drew a number of sociological conclusions in Lord of the Rings Online based entirely on emotes. RadarX breaks through the mumbo jumbo and laments about not paying more attention in Sociology.

Grab some mat boys and girls while Grandpa Radar tells you a story. A long time ago in something called the "Reagan Era" a professor named Anthony Giddens proposed a theory. He basically stated that rules (what he referred to as structures) must be studied in order to understand a social group. Right now you are either A) Going "Duh." or B) Wishing like I did you paid more attention in Sociology. Giddens called this fancy schmancy theory Structuration. Now what the crap does this have to do with Lord of the Rings Online?
