I have no problems with Glorfindel in himself - a perfectly respectable and really quite dashing scion of the admittedly obscure House of the Golden Flower.

But since that cinematic replacement by a female at the Ford, he has become the poster-boy of a certain reactionary and unwholesome kinder-kirche-kuche element of the Tolkien fanbase.
I am frankly very surprised to find mormegil of all people as a cheerleader of this kind of misogynistic piffle. But while I salute the gallant Glorfindel, I must vote against him for what he has come, I am sure against his own wisely elven wishes, to represent.
