But we have evidence that shows that the stone giants, whoever they were, were not all terribly bad.
After escaping from the goblins in the Misty Mountains, Gandalf says that perhaps he should find a "more or less decent giant" to block up the goblins' new pass. And if Gandalf himself could have dealings with these creatures, mayhap they were not as horrible as, say, the Orcs. Maybe they were one of those races that weren't on anyone's side at all, but looking out for their own interests.
