People keep seeking me out to discuss Balrog wings with me. I've written a couple of essays through the years that I felt, on each occasion, should put the issue to rest -- at least as far as people's perception of my position on the matter is.
Unfortunately, there are some Websites that mislabel me as being a pro-Wings advocate. That's just plain wrong.
I have objected to both the Pro-Wings and Anti-Wings positions for many years. Neither side can put together a solid, reasonable, logical case for its position.
So I've tried once again, on the Tolkien Studies on the Web Blog, to explain where I stand (which is not with either group).
Read "The Truth About Balrogs (Again)".
It's about as short and simple an essay as I can write.
