Therefore, I think "o mighty member number 3's" assesment and conclusion is pretty much right on.
Hey Rhud, it's been a while. While I agree with your point about Frodo's pity toward Gollum, you say nothing of how that relates to Luthien and Sauron. At best you could say that Eomer of the Rohirrim's statement does not disprove Sharku's conclusion of luthien's actions being motivated by the same "wisdom" as Frodo's, since all you argued was that Frodo was indeed mainly motivated by pity. therefore, you could say "therefore... Sharku is not nessessarily wrong." But to say "therefore...it is right on," you would have to addres the validity of the conclusion, not just the validity of one of his premises.
