Some definitions: (Merriam-Webster) petulant-1 : insolent or rude in speech or behavior 2 : characterized by temporary or capricious ill humor : PEEVISH arrogance- a feeling or an impression of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or presumptuous claims I don't think that Galadriel was insolent or rude in refusing such a personal request from someone she disliked heartily, and doubt she was manifesting an overbearing manner or made presuptuous claims. On the other hand, such an obsession with his niece argues an unhealthy state of mind.

Anyone thinks that Fëanor's acts may have been different if she had given him a tress? He probably bacame very bitter after her refusal...

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

Maedhros, now you are blaming what Feanor did or didn't do on Galadriel? I think she was right to withhold her hair from him. I think if my creepy uncle came up to me and asked for a lock of my hair, I'd tell him to shove off also. Yeah, you heard me... creepy... you got it right. Who else but a creep would have insighted and carried out the Kinslaying? (That is a rhetorical question, Maedhros.) |

That Fëanor could have created something unique with them. In the Published Silmarillion that I read, Manwë which is the noblest of the Valar gave Melkor another chance, he met his past transgressions with a new chance of redemption. He had hope and mercy instead of hate and fear. It was only Manwë the one who could see what things Fëanor could have done, because they would have been great. From the Published Silmarillion Quote:
