Given his title ("sylvan madman") I'm guessing he's happily off in the woods somewhere, Tar-E :)



But if that's your opinion, as it seems, don't you still want, or prefer (prefer over "different ideas of other people, despite Tolkien's claim to the contrary") Tolkien attested material in response to the questions in the various threads you raise?
Of course, what Tolkien said and how he accepted it is more important to me. but on the issues that Tolkien does not focus on and does not give much detail, both me and other people are trying to reach a conclusion about that subject by reasoning. Just like in the discussion that celebrimbor with a gondolin and celebrimbor, the grandson of feanor, are different or the same person.
 
Who fought the most.
Whose fighting was most effective.
Who killed the most.
Who did the most damage to the enemy.
Who had the biggest weapon. Strongest weapon. Most effective weapon.
Who drank the most swill.

Personally, I'm just glad they all fought, or Middle-earth would be a very different place. 🤪

Very well, but according to my skull-chamber, that's not exactly what I was responding to when you wrote: " . . . despite Tolkien's claim to the contrary, and this change can spread over time and change the main event. that is, non-canon things and ideas replaces canon things and ideas."

And to think, I once responded to a post of yours by typing out every reference to Ecthelion in The History of Middle-Earth series (and maybe a little beyond, if I recall correctly). It took a lot of work to
give you exactly what JRRT himself wrote. Do you think I just did that for fun?

Yes.

It was quite fun actually :)

I'm always thankful when you come out of your cardboard box in the back room. We always learn things.
