Were all the Sons of Feanor really that bad? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was thinking, after reading something else in another thread, about the sons of feanor, and it got me to thinking. Yes, the brothers did some rather naughty things, but were they necessarily all that bad, or was it just, mainly, Celegorm, Caranthir and Curufin? Maedhros is obviously the leader, but he often regrets the deeds of the brothers, or is the one to make the compromises. Maglor never struck me as being evil at all, and we hear very little of Amrod and Amras. So, the question I put is do you think they were truly evil, or was it mainly Celegorm, Caranthir and Curufin? Or, was it the oath? Or perhaps even a mixture of both!
