Citizens of Arda, eject Sauron and let the minor characters have their day...

You accuse me of hypocrisy and inconsistency in defending the minor characters and voting for Celeborn (hardly a minor character). And yet, having made the statement above two days ago, you now see fit to cast your vote for Ohtar, possibly the most minor character of all those remaining. Talk about the pot calling the saucepan black ...
Elves make up nearly half of the remaining contestants. The "Endorian" tribe is the strongest tribe. Ergo, an Elf from the Endorian tribe must go. Of the three, Celeborn is the least extraordinary. Cirdan, while absenting himself from the affairs of Middle-earth for large parts of the First, Second and Third Ages was at least an extraordinary shipwright. Celebrian suffered intense torture at the hands of Orcs, and so deserves our sympathy. Celeborn did nothing which any other Elf of similar standing could not have achieved. As I have established previously, his claims to be the wisest Elf and greatest giver of gifts were vastly over-inflated. He relies solely on his wife for his renown and for his place in Middle-earth legend. And he even ensured that history was re-written in an attempt to ensure that his embarassing true name would remain hidden. Surely we can countenance the presence of this fraudulent upstart on the island no longer.
