Great answer to the Arwen question, Legalos, I actually preferred that post to the article. Up until then my own view on her situation was still a little fuzzy. I can definitely remember reading quotes that back up what you say, though.

Mattius, Fëanor while he had his faults was not an idiot in the literal sense. And I for one think he was more brave than foolish. He wasn't willing to stay and simply be a tool of the Valar, who he thought were unjustly keeping the elves within the Undying Lands. A popular opinion considering the hosts that followed him back into the Hither Lands. Part of his unrest was caused by Melkor, but also he was just too much of an individual, and a gifted one at that, to feel constrained by the Valar.

His theme song would be "You're Not the Boss of Me Now" from Malcolm in the Middle.
