I've recounted and, alas, Saucey got it wrong. Dori is still with us, boringly enough.

I hope that the goody-goodies who failed to take down Dori because he's a "sweet, nice little Hobbit-carrier" will not be so squeamish about another candidate.

I speak of he who said the following immortal slur:

"The moment I set eyes on him, bobbing about on the doormat, I had my doubts. He looks more like a grocer than a burglar!"

In this way Gloin, the haughty aristocratic warrior of the line of Durin

1. Endorsed theft, specifically burglary

2. Discriminated against a co-worker on a height-related basis ("bobbing about on the doormat")

3. Implied discrimination on racial basis (that Bilbo is a Hobbit)

4. Displayed hauteur and contempt for honest trade off which Gloin and his penniless aristo leech friends feed, to wit grocery

5. Mocked home comforts, to wit doormat

6. Showed hypocrisy ("I had my doubts"-why didn't he raise them earlier?)

This line alone is a fine basis for eviction. Later evidence also shows that his son Gimli-though thankfully intelligent and open-minded enough to change-was brought up to be a hardened Dwarf supremacist.

In conclusion-
