I am rather confused... What did I say that contradicted myself, Finwe?

Perhaps my wording was wrong. I meant to say that Gimli did die. Or is that not it?

Eowyn, I don't rightly agree with your statement that 'Dwarves are Men.' Their very nature is different, and especially because they were not created by Eru. Aulë had no notion of what the Children of Eru would be like, so he made the Dwarves in a way so that they could stand fast against the dark, and had the same love of smithing and creating things with their hands that he did. I think Eru had a different idea for Men.
