I just don't like people calling Melkor 'Morgoth' before his 'full' transformation, after the chaining of the Valar. Melkor was a character of far more potency, read 'Myths Transformed' for more details. Also, there may have been a TINY bit of compassion for the Elves from MELKOR, hence him not slaying them all, though I really really doubt it. Either that or I'm an pedantic idiot. I'll take the latter.
