"2850 - Gandalf enters Dol Guldur and confirms that the evil thereby found is indeed Sauron returned"
And by "form" i meant manifestation. He had some kind of recognizable presence. It didn't have to be physical.

it's the will's influence of the sleeping mayar that has no more shape or form whole thing about Sauron plot(s) in lotr/3rd age is him trying to get back into his old shape and getting enough power to come back sorta hell, his "will/mind" isn't even complete without the One, so, it's reaaaaally far away from 'Sauron' as in what he really is
edit : the misleading thing is that 3rd age protagonists are pussies and weak sauce, always scared about every single thing, so they make things appear "big", when they're far from actually beeing "big"
just like screaming "it's sauron omg !" when it's a half assed mid awaken nazgul without any backup that guards an abandonned gate at some remote non strategic location

Yes, I never claimed otherwise. I just stated my right to call it Sauron since that is what Tolkien does consistently in the Lotr appendix. I would therefore claim that the name Sauron is tied to the core of the being and not the manifestation. What we saw in the 2nd age was one manifestation of Sauron. What we see in the 3rd age is another, weaker and different one.

Lotr / Tolkien lore have alot of incoherencies
Like the full powered up witch king beeing murdered in plain sight by a pubescent hobbit with a 3rd age human chick
Well the hobbit had one nice dagger tho
edit : nono 2nd age is true sauron, after beeing defeated he never came back, he's not taking "different forms"

no, i'm using post Lotr lore Tolkien published afterwise
it's more like, what he published later (tho he did write everything but the hobbit, about the same time) doesn't sync so well with Lotr that has alot of weird things in it that don't always fit in the world he designed
edit : goes like this > the hobbit > lotr > silmarillon / unfinished tales

This argument is oh so pointless. Gollum is both Gollum and Smeagol. Gandalf is both Gandalf and Olorin. Morgoth is both Morgoth and Melkor. The formless and diminished spirit of Sauron is still Sauron. He is not exactly the same Sauron of the previous ages, but he retains the essence that makes him him.

I have read Silmarillion. It calls Sauron for Sauron also at the time when he is in Dol Guldur.

Arguing about Tolkien lore is never pointless when you role player-ed it twice a week for years :D learning maths through it's masochist rocket science combat rules

this isn't LOTR though

"IM GETTING NERD CHILLS BILBO"
Hope this is good I've read the Hobbit twice, hope they make it as awesome as the book
What a pointless argument though. Sauron is referenced as the Necromancer in the Hobbit.. they are the same guy! 'Strider' isn't different than 'Aragon' just because of what they're called.

Well the hobbit had one nice dagger tho Well, then you can use that to discredit any argument about the lore, including yours. And you also have to realise that Tolkien's universe virtually has no superheroes. Everyone can be killed relatively easy. A stab in the face by a sword is deadly. It's better this way because it doesn't create DBZ scenarios where one character is completely powerless against another.

witch king of angmar is still a fucking upset

The Hobbit, the film, based on the book. It's coming out, in a year.
I'm going to like the parts where the hobbit does things and there are other things happening as well like talking fauna and plants.
I enjoyed the hobbit book and now there's a film.
I watched lord of the rings in the cinema with my friends.
I enjoy threads about james bond movies and the hobbit too.
I am finally happy

Now I need to buy another full extended blu ray edition T_T

Well, he overextended himself, attacked too carelessly and fell victim to a brilliant flank.
