Or instead of arguing semantics about what one member said Durin's Bane height was, and what another said, and look straight at the text....

Quote:
"A figure strode to the fissure, no more than man-high and yet terror
seemed to go before it."~HoME VII: The Bridge of Khazad-dum
Quote:
Alter description of Balrog. It seemed to be of man’s shape, but its
form could not be plainly discerned. It felt larger than it looked.~ibid


And these are consistant with the descriptions of the balrog height in The Lord of the Rings: The Bridge of Khazad-dum. There you have it, Durin's Bane is roughly 6 feet tall...now see how simple that was?

(As a note those quotes you will actually find...I'm not being a nasty, tricksy, false, Nerwen )

Basically, to 'wildly interpret' you once again, what you say here boils down to 'all who don't agree with me on the issue are silly (to use the most mild expression).~Heren
Why thank you Heren, for finally admitting that I'm always right.
