I mean, what did he really do? He joined the Fellowship, then egged Gandalf into Moria where Gandalf was killed - I mean, he's a Dwarf, how much do you want to bet he didn't know there was a balrog there? Then he goes about making audacious not to mention selfish requests from Galadriel. He doesn't really do anything else except insult Eomer until they get to Helm's Deep where he kills forty-something Orcs - so what? Besides, why did he kill the Orcs? Did he ever considered that there might be hope of redemption? Noo. Then he basically does a whole lot of nothing (unless you're going by the movie - then, not only does he do nothing but is annoying doing it).

Really, he's just a useless character. Why on earth is he in the book anyway? And what's he still doing camping out on this island?
