Sharkû has just left Hobbiton.
It appears to me that the question of Free Will in regard to Orcs is usually a bit different than when talking about Quendi or Men, not because there would be a fundamental difference between the two issues, but because it seems convenient to define the term in question so that it fits the perceived nature of Orcs better.
Namely, the point of debate is whether Orcs, or all Orcs vs. some, had any free will at all, or were just puppets. This does necessitate for me to go there again, but it is of course apparent that the latter was never remotely considered for Quendi or Men.
