Could it be perhaps because they feel that Thingol murdered FF in a way.

“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. |

Finrod. I have no Attitude towards Thingol, so it would be better not to Generalize the word "supporter."

Maedhros: did I or did I not say that Turgon was a good king also? Sheesh! Just because I think that Thingol was a rotten king has nothing to do with Finrod (mostly). He was just a bad king, and a jerk as a father. And that outweighs anything he did to any one person. Sheesh! You're so quick to jump to conclusions. |

He was at times, anyway.
But Thingol /did/ eventually come to accept the love his daughter had for beren. And after meeting Beren, his opinion of men was changed enough that he was willing to raise Turin as his own son . He wasn't completely bad- Melian saw something in him that was enough to win her love. And that's no easy task. Not that I would know. ]:-)
