I think there is also mutual respect between dwarves and eleves. I seem to remember reading somewhere that of all eleves the dwarves respected most the Noldor. I also seem to remeber that they thought eol and vice versa. They are united in love and skill of craft and crafted items. The whole war between the dwarves and eleves over the silmaril and nauglairim, killing of Thingol, sack of thousand caves etc. All of this started from a personal reasons of few crafters and in the end both "nations" fighting thought they were justified. I suppose such quarrels leave deeper supicion then either would feel to men even though many men served Morgoth.

Put yourseleves in the shoes of eleves for example. With men you have your allies and enemies amongst them and you have to know what is what. With dwarves... yes they are all for you in principle, but beware of misunderstandings (especially over ownership of pretty things) or a war might arise to desolate kingdoms on both sides.
