Of course Elendur, I believe immortality can be a bad thing as more of the exception as of the rule. Many many elves lived their lives in peace (Silvan elves, etc.) without doing great harm.

Since ythis thread is slowing down let me add one more comment/question to the mix here: Do you think that the immorttality inhibited many of the elves from doing great deeds? The Elves that were recorded as doing great deeds were mostly the Noldor,(with the exception of luthien who was part maia) and they even kept to themselves. Men on the other hand seemed more free with their lives, knowing they were going to die anyways. Just more food for thought.
