The Silmarillion Survivor

[the phantom]

Ingwe off because he was actually loyal and obedient and Melkor found that they could not be twisted to his evil ways

If Melkor would've made Ingwe and the Vanyar his focus he would've eventually gotten to them too. The only reason he didn't was because, as you said, "he more or less left them alone".

No elf could remain unchanged if Melkor turned his full concentration their way.

However, I never suggested voting off Ingwe. I agree that he should be kept around. ALL THE ELVES SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE THIS ROUND!!

The whole incident with Melkor and the trees was started by the Valar. If you are going to vote anyone off, vote one of them off. I would suggest Manwe, who, according to Tolkien himself, has no creativity and can't deal with perilous situations.
