Morwen Tindomerel, I absolutely loved your post! Far too often, it seems that some Tolkien readers view the Valar as the epitome of perfection, and use them as a standard for behavior, when in fact they had faults of their own, and were nowhere near perfect (it's not possible).
In debates, people always seem reluctant to disagree with, or even question, any action of the Valar, as if there were some sort of law of Tolkien that says "The Valar are always right. If there is any dispute, the Valar are correct."
Though I may not whole-heartedly agree with every single one of your points, I must applaud your bravery and straight forwardness in saying something that is, at times, a bit of a Tolkien taboo.
(by the way, I do agree with most everything, but don't tell [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
