Re: Bye Bye Balrogs

Your familiarity or lack thereof matters not a whit. Doesn't amount to a pile of jack.

Lets resume the discussion. Was I correct in supposing that you propose a greater number of Balrogs early on whose numbers are whittled down dramatically? If so, when? Or, are you suggesting that the definition of Balrog might include entities of lesser power, not fitting the LoTR image of a great, fiery entity (with wings <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> ) but greater than orcs, etc? If so, where does the Boldog fit in? Lets assume some semblence of civility, put aside all slights perceived or otherwise, and have at it.
