It was a MAN who mocked Morgoth in front of his very eyes. It was a MAN who cut a Silmaril from Morgoth's iron crown. It was a MAN who terrified the Valar so much that they called upon Eru to sink his armada and bury the army that was preparing to wrest Valinor from their control.
MAN!!!

Curse you for a short-lived Hildor!

I keep hoping to think of a counter to salve the honour of my pointy-eared brethren, but as of yet I'm blank.
