[Fingolfin of the Noldor]

(as others have argued here).

Actually I believe by "others" you mean me [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I believe I was the first person to put the similic/metaphorical argument, that I know of, here under the name of "fingolfin." At the time my points were not that well developed and I was sortof winging it through the debates. That is part of the reason I did al lthat research to in some way substanciate what I felt/feel to be the truth.
