No! Not Elrond again!
There is another Elf far more worthy of eviction. I speak of the responsibility shirking Cirdan.
While Elrond was in Rivendell, defending a stronghold against Sauron and Celeborn/Galadriel did the same in Lorien, what was Cirdan doing? Nothing. Sitting at the Havens building ships and just waiting to leave for Elvenhome. Further proof of his complete disinterest in aiding the Free Folk of Middle-earth is demonstrated in his giving his ring away to Gandalf. Obviously he was looking for someone else to take over the job he was entrusted with when given his ring. Thus, Elrond deserves to stay. Cirdan does not.
++CIRDAN
PS I'm willing to vote for Sauron But not yet... I'll change my vote if necessary to save Elrond.
