You're alright, you can leave the 'comment', as I don't really go in for being patronised, especially not early in the mornning.

I was and am genuinely puzzled by your idea. I apologise if my comment was out of line. So, I am curious, where do you draw the line between human and non-human?

In fact if Tolkien did not do this then he was a racist, propounding racist values and none of us should be reading his books.

I am not saying, or believing, that racism is ok, not here, not there. I was arguing about making mistakes in extraordinary times, in a world where deceit and division was one of the highest objectives of a present mythological evil. As Tolkien stated in the letters, everyone is subject to error in Ea, even the valar.
