I think you'r kind of missing the point of all of this, it was always about the Thalmor, the group ruling the Dominion. It was never a elf hate blog it was a Thalmor hate blog. In it i mearly pointed out some of the reasons why i hate the Thalmor. An argument about elven nature is not the point.

The thing we must remember is that racial steriotypes in TES universe are 80% always correct, there are clear exeptions to the rule. Many are present in Skyrim, for instance when one thinks of a Nord he thinks strong brutish warrior or the hard working commoner, there are however many exeptions to this prejudice. For example the Nord Mage Ohmund(i belive that was his name), Astrid, Brynwolf(the thief), etc. Same goes for the Altmer, when you think High Elf you picture a powerfull mage who thinks he is the best, again many exeptions are present in Skyrim, but to truely see how the Elves really are we first need to see them in their native province, to fully see their culture. This is why im very excited to play TESO, to experience the cultures of the Altmer/Bosmer/Argonians/Khajiit which we have never seen before.

On the whole Blades thing. I have said i do agree with you that wanting to kill Parthunax after he has proven himself a changed dragon is stupid, but i do undestand why. The Blades have sworn oaths to hunt dragons, it was why the whole order was formed in the first place. So when the see a dragon, and not just any dragon but Alduin's right hand man, they want to kill it. I don't remember Delphine saying the Blades did something to the Thalmor, i could be wrong, but i don;t think that is true. The first i've heard about Blades vs. Thalmor was from before the Great War when the Thalmor killed every Blade agent that was stationed in Summerset/Valenwood/Esweyr and brought their heads to the Imperial City as a "gift" to the Emperor(aka how the Great War started). So as far as i know the Blade agents were just doing their jobs running inteligence for the Emperor and the Thalmor killed them all. I hardly think spying counts as an excuse to commit mass murder and almost whipe out the Blades, but hey thats just me.

Ps.: it was Faralda who pays the dragonborn for killing Nirya, my last comment was incorrect.
