Fea looks around for those whose wrath may still be fresh...

Dare I admit to the shame of it? I once... nay... twice!... resurrected a Balrog/Wing debate. I was very quickly shown the error of my ways. I then proceeded to make a valiant attempt to put a different spin on the debate (the worst reasons you've heard for peoples' beliefs, as opposed to the beliefs themselves) with a new thread, however... it didn't fly well with the posters. They promptly decided to ignore my rules of engagement and rehash all of the old arguements. I was, yet again, shown the error of my ways.

**EDIT**: Fordim: Balrogs have wings just as conclusively as Aragorn does. Wingfoot, remember.

My most embarrassing moment was in the Books forum, when I asked if the Seven Names of Gondolin were actually written down somewhere. It turned out that they are - in The Book of Lost Tales 2, which I own and had read not a month earlier! It seems I had turned more than one page at some point and missed the section. I felt quite the fool.

Feanor: that pun was terrible. Careful, or I'll get my friend Roger the Redundant to WOAW you.

My most embarassing moment would have to be my very first post on the Downs. I hadn't read the rules for the Quiz Room and posted a question without answering the last one. (I went back and deleted it later though)

I think that might have been why they locked me in this gorilla cage...

Now that is embarassing. . .particularly when the debate has been so firmly settled that they do, in fact, have wings!

My most embarassing moment? I'd need to change that noun to a plural. I can't count the times I've embarassed myself on this site.

I mostly made stupid mistakes when I was a newbie, but I still do things that make me want to flog myself over the head and throw myself bodily into that "underground place of security" of Eomer's.

Hmm, I must admit that I've made a few mistakes in the Quiz Room. Making stupid questions that there are no answers to, giving wrong answers (20 questions) etc.

Wow, somehow I managed to miss seeing that. Though from the sounds of it I guess I should be thankful.
