Nope. Celeborn welcomed Gimli in earnest and explained that he wished their meeting as a sign of things to come (the reconciliation and warming of ties between dwarves and elves again). Gimli was speechless and could only bow low in agreement and perhaps in respect to Celeborn's graciousness and wisdom.
There will always be bigots either in real life or in fantasy, but the wisest and most far-sighted will often be able to overlook past tresspasses in respect to the big picture. Celeborn, Elrond, Galadriel and Cirdan were perhaps only a few of them. And I dare say perhaps Thranduil's view of Durin's folks have also changed for the better after the Battle of the Five Armies.
Agree with you on your point of view on the dwarves and Noldor.
