Let's cut our Newly Deceased Etharius some slack. Not everyone who has read LOTR may have read the silmarillion or even the appendecies of LOTR.
I agree with most of what has been explained above, but I do agree with the point Etharius made that the Elves may have been 'stuck up'. I believe they were HIGHLY stuck up, and had a 'holier than thou' attitude.
This may be down to the fact that they were the Firstborn and immortal, and saw themselves as the god's 'chosen ones'.
As well as their sin of pride, this doesn't give them an excuse to be a pretty nasty bunch of beings for a lenghty period of their history (ie kinslaying, etc).
You may be able to ascertain from this post that I am not a great lover of Elves.
