But all of those exceptions were individual cases, O doug*platypus the Wight. Letting Bilbo, Frodo and Sam sail into the west was tweaking with his own rules a little bit, but denying the Fire to an entire race of creatures because he didn't think their creator's purpose was noble enough is something else.(As Squatter and Afrodal point out, he didn't withdraw the Gift from the entire race). The one is pulling a nail out of a wall, the other is pulling several beams out of the ceiling. Anyway it's probably a moot point since Melkor doesn't seem to have been very interested in original creative works. Take care!
