You're late to that party. You can't assume hostility simply because of differing opinion. It's just wrong, and doesn't really allow for much discussion (Someone believes something different than me? Why, they must be upset! They should calm down!). You can't just use that as a bludgeon to end any and all discussions you're unable or unwilling to carry on. Just bow out if you're going to bow out. These little parting shots are downright unnecessary (particularly when they miss the mark as thoroughly as this one.)
Anyway, that's fine if you think it's weird. Really. Nobody said it wasn't. What was said (asked, really) was why you felt that way. And then there was a discussion on the merits of the explanations offered. A short one, but a discussion none the less.
Though I have to be honest, I still don't see how it is you create a character around a race you knew jack about during the super-early (alpha tester, even) phases of the world-to-be. Much less a character that has any kind of depth. I once again point to Orlando Bloom's Legolas as my example.
Also, you...uh...may want to re-read the original post. Prior to the de-rail here. You answered a request that wasn't ever voiced. Which then begged some more questions. And here we are!
