   Ignorance is no excuse for stupidity, as a former regular of this   
   group often enjoyed pointing out. Time of the Elves was going to   
   end with the destruction of the Ring, no matter who would do it.   
      
   You're so attracted to your foolish private ideas that you can't   
   even see how they totally contradict things that are actually in   
   the book you're trying to interpretate. And I'm afraid that attitude   
   makes your ideas quite useless.
