[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 1283714, member: 1013"] So Isildur had the right to hold onto a ring of total evil, which by the future of the world hangs in the balance? Elrond putting down Isildur after Isildur refused to do the only right thing to me would have been like a cop shooting a criminal. It's not the ends justify the means to me, it's Elrond doing the right thing. . No matter what "right" he has to this piece of pure evil, he has a moral obligation to destroy it. But he was weak, and Elrond should have done the right thing and killed this new servant of Sauron and destroyed the ring. You speak of murder when I speak of lawful homicide. When Isildur decided to keep the ring he threw in his lot with Sauron, regardless of him realizing it at the time. He enabled with his greed and weakness Sauron to live on and cause untold horror, evil, and death. Isildur bears to blood of thousands on his hands. [/QUOTE]
