Well, you can't love a man that's never around, now can you?

Good. Shows you have good taste.

You should have said "Finrod ROCKS." Now I'm going to have to go change your user group back to "awaiting email confirmation." Shame shame!!!

Watch out, Wayfarer will be calling him a Mary Sue. Who could find anything good to say of the Fëanorians? Bunch of murderers and Kinslayers, to boot. Remember, they had a choice, they didn't have to take the oath. Ol' Daddy was just too, tooo persuasive.

No, he wasn't married. He would have been a great catch, High King and all. Not to mention, he is of Finrod's line.

It's not my fault that he get's a particularly memorable poem LOTR...
And, I should have known that you were not above grade school fights..
Mountains? seriously....

And don't I know it. Well look at his death for example. He gave his life to save Beren and he honoured his oath to the kin of Barahir. I don't see how you can dislike him.

Good, as long as you are refering to mountains that are truly mountains...or the mountain of mountains in this case, I have no issues with your quibbling.

But remember, the king of the mountains are me, Thorondor! and as I see from my notes, that Finrod of yours have no registration to be a mountian, so I think we clasify him as a boulder. have a nice day

I feel betrayed, Pytt. Absolutely betrayed.

Think it over, would you? I've got to go now.

[edited] Yes, SGH. Definitely better as a nephew.
