Question about politeness in Aman - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It might help is you could clarify more precisely what aspect of Manwë's questioning strikes you as possibly impolite. To my (English-first language) way of thinking, there's nothing odd in the questioning, but perhaps you aren't picking up on the actual wording of the question so much as something like whether or not Manwë should be asking in Yavanna's stead in the first place.
