I personally have never blown off or dismissed the theory that orcs were corrupted Men. By saying that you prefer a certain theory, as Saucepan Man did, you are not condemning other views, just 1) inviting others to debate or 2) stating your personal preference based on your knowledge.

As for myself, I am of the opinion that perhaps orcs can be either Elves or Men, and I believe that it they were Elves, their corruption would be such that Iluvatar would revoke the gift of immortality from them and purge them from their sins after they died.
