Opinions: Fëanor, ritcheous or over-proud?

[Falagar]

Oh, I have it, and all of the HoME, but I regard them with some suspicion, and agree with Michael Martinez that they are not Canon, merely a collection of speculations that JRRT may or may not have come to believe. Falagar, I think you posted something to this point, or I might be mistaken.

I think so.

That essay about Men when they were 'corrupted' is something I'm very suspicious to, since it's not mentioned anywhere else and Tolkien several times state that nothing is told of what happened to Men when Morgoth came to them.

But it is still very interesting, Tolkien must have written this down once and thus also had the idea. If he meant to implent it in the Silm. we will never know...

Personally, I believe it to be more of a "test version", to see how it turned out.

Ok, I'm rambeling, off to get some sleep
