Mr. Gollum has a nasty habit of surviving, and probably would prove tough to kill. I was surprised when he let himself be cornered by Faramir's bowmen, very unlike his normal behavior. Also, his 'origin' was that of a nasty hobbit, he was never a good samaritan in any sense of the word, and any leniency was undeserved unless it was on the basis of pity and basic decency. Saruman used to be good (unlike Gollum), but I doubt many on this board would show him the leniency that Gandalf or Frodo did. Why is that?
Oh, and if someone bit MY finger off, well... they better hope we're nowhere near the Cracks of Doom... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
