And they let Sauron escape! Hope that they aren't the ones guarding Robert Blake in LA -- you might as well hand an inmate the keys as expect the Mirkwood elves to keep them locked up! I guess the only responsible Mirkwood Elf was Legolas, so naturally he wants to go to the Greyhavens and ship out.
