Oh Eru! According to Helka's theory, I'm definitely a goner! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
Fear can drive the best of people to do the most evil things, and to make the stupidest mistakes. It takes events out of their control, and into "The Big Guy"'s hands. It has been scientifically proven that in moments of complete fear (or anger), one's IQ drops, so it becomes harder to reason your way out of a tight spot like that. Once people get frightened enough, they will be willing to do anything, absolutely anything, to get out of that tight spot, and big, evil Dark Lords like Morgoth and Sauron love capitalizing on that.
