Elrond and Sauron, a personal vendetta?

Morgoth is out of the way, he's already being punished for his sins. Sauron on the other hand is still alive and working against not only him but also his entire race!

We don't know if the orcs of the Misty Mountains was under Sauron's command or not, personaly I don't think they took direct orders from him. I always saw them as an independent force that naturaly was on the same side as Sauron as they where all former minions of Morgoth.

I never knew that you could commit sins in Arda. . .and I don't belive Morgoth is dead. Anyways, if you had a strugle with Morgoth and therefor hated him and he then got killed, would you then naturally transfer your personal hatred to Sauron?

If someone else rose to power, someone like Saruman and Sauron became his servant, would Elrond still hate Sauron the most? If he did then yes, it would be personal, but if not then he just hates who ever is his most powerful enemy.

I don't know if that confused more than it elaborated, I hope it helped. . . Anyways I still I don't see any reason or indication that Elrond hates Sauron more than any other evil of Middle-Earth.
