WW XXXIX - Do Werebalrogs have wings?

[Brinniel]

On Nerwen. Some comments that caught my attention:

This seems very safe. Pointing out to others that we should suspect Rikae, without trying to sound fully suspicious herself.

She voted fifth for Rikae (Nogrod only had 2 at the time) for the reason that there wasn't anyone better. Very safe indeed.

Post 108 she seemingly tries to be helpful analysing Volo the cobbler. Yet, while she may seem helpful in doing this, in reality there wasn't ever much information to take from Volo. She even states this:

This may reflect Volo's beliefs about the identity of the werebalrogs– but as he knew no more than the other miners, what he thought isn't all that relevant.

Why analyse if what he thought wasn't all that relevant? Perhaps she is a balrog just trying to confuse us...

She votes for Gil only for the sake of avoiding a bandwagon. She doesn't really seem to have a strong case against Gil in the first place. All she says is:

No offence, Gil. But you've said some pretty strange things. Maybe it's just your way– I don't know you.

ToDay in Post 178, Nerwen becomes entirely defensive of Legate's accusations saying:

I guess I'm bound to reply to this. Legate, is (wilfully?) distorting my comments.

At the end of the post, she continues:

Legate, with his "weasel words" and twisting of facts, is starting to smell balroggish to me.

Accusing her accuser. Now that's what worries me most about her.
