hey! for some reason it is now firmly stuck in my head that thranduil is a cold stern man who beats obedience and submission into his children with a stick/fist.

Because of his dislike and mistrust of Dwarves? The Elves were prejudice because the Dwarves always seemed to stir up trouble, the Balrog of Moria and Smaug for example. The same reasons the Silvan Elves (Lothlorien)had a grudge against them.
Thranduil and his people did not treat Gollum that way so why would he treat his children or anyone else that way?
