Good
. Being an inveterate no-winger myself, can not agree more.
Yet my previous post just meant what it meant. It is not good to be involved on such a
personal level
To repeat myself from a little bit earlier on, after all, the
message I see the balrog bearing on (besides linguistic Vala+Rauko musings and derivatives, besides plot and tension purposes) is that even the most noble and radiant
creature may fall, and the higher it originally stood, the lower its fall would be. Repetition of Morgoth/Sauron theme on a slightly minor scale. In this respect, it does not even matter (though may still cause a lot of interest)
that much whether it had wings, six teeth or a floating kidney
