Maybe if you insulted the elves again that would stir everyone up and bring people back to our little thread. ;)
You just want to get me in trouble, don't you? :)
Outside of the "movie Elves" looking down their noses at everyone, here's what I've got against Elves:
First they make Rings of Power that are perilous to all mortals...i.e. - their neighbors. They leak their "Ring technology" to the major bad guy. Okay, I'll grant that that was unintentional. They let Isildur keep the stupid thing knowing it was perilous for mortals (and if it's a strong temptation for Elves such as Galadriel, where does the "movie Elrond" get off putting all the blame on Isildur?)
They should have taken it from Isildur (yeah, I know the "breaking his mind" bit. But you'd rather let all the free peoples of Middle Earth suffer because of it?) and destroyed it then and there. And now, in Frodo's time, Sauron's strength is growing, the Ring is found...and the Elves are bugging out! "We're leaving Middle Earth, guys, good luck!"
Well thank you very much, Elves of Middle Earth. Cheese-eating abandon monkeys!
