Once again, my orc/goblin theory:

All writing regarding orcs & goblins imply that they are indeed the same things.

However (and let me just stipulate that this is pure theory without any basis in Tolkien's writings), I kind of like to think that just as Trolls were made in mockery of Ents and Orcs were made in mockery of Elves, perhaps the Goblins were made in mockery of Dwarves. This would explain a lot of things, particularly the emnity between orcs and goblins.
