Re: the debate turns canonical

Greetings Giltahlion andAiwendil,

G: you are of course right about polls [it might prove useful if we hadmuch larger #'s than we do but w/ anything below say 12 , you are right , I don't know what came over me.<img src=smile.gif ALT="

">
Aiwendil : Glad to meet another ponderer of Canon.
I am doubly glad that you find much of the methodologies we are considering/working with in accord w/ your views.
Feel free to poke around more, in the Forum the last 12 or so threads/topics are I think the most relevant to the project. Esp. Unofficial outline [4.<img src=alien.gif ALT="0]"> is the latest although I am sorely due for an update.
The ' Literary devices and such' is old but illustrates some of the components of our thought.
The 'DoV/texts and discussions' has our 1/2 of the Darkening of Valinor and it's attendant discussion/debate.
'Common usage of Common usage of abbreviations and such' is what it is.
Regrouping the rules /Rev. Silmarillion Proj.' contains such as there is of our Rules of Order.
We have so far managed to keep all debate here so civil that I as moderator have only to try and keep this Byzantine tangle of idea's and threads managable. [knock ,knock].

I will hope Tar- Elenion can answer for his concept [Maintaining both Fingolfin reconciling -which I do agree is a major peice of the storyline - and Fingolfin's pursuit of the Kingship of the noldor ] which Aiwendil debates as I may have misconstrued a point and he will certainly answer for it better than I .
I would only add that we don't know how JRRT was conceiving the 2 situations in his mind. Wether he had stumbled upon Elenion's idea or wether he forgot. Maybe a letter to CRT? <img src=smile.gif ALT="

Glad to have you discussing w/ us Aiwendil , there are many things I would love your feedback on, so please do not get the impression that there is some party line you must pull to stay around.
