My point is very similar to that which Ms Duck and you are arguing.
Why is it what it is? What are the qualifications? What are the reasons? Granted, I was rambling a bit, I do that a lot, but still.
'Fae are weak to iron because they are Fae' is a statement that needs qualification, and you qualified it, but it does not answer whether Fae existed before they were weak to Iron; or if they did exist before then, were they still Sidhe?
Just like you too are arguing whether or not so-and-so is a god based on unknown and assumed qualifications. (Though In that case, I blame Jahovah for claiming exclusive licencing on the title of 'God'. Few Religious figures were ever that ballsy. How about use the word 'deity' so you don't get His panties in a twist, Eh?) Ms Duck is extrapolating data, and the Count is taking the conservative approach.

When I saw your post it didn't really seem like you were making any points at all. Rather, you were asking a bunch of questions and speculating about them. I chose to answer one of them (Are Fae weak to Iron because they are Fae) and left the rest alone since I think we don't have nearly enough information to answer them.
Orloth:
That is pretty much what I was doing, yes, but with the aim of speculating on the current question (I don't remember what that was at the time, something about whether Santa should have been weak to Iron, I think.). What's the fun of obsessively following something if we can't extrapolate wild theories about it?

I can't see the appeal. You are of course, free to do whatever you wish :).
PilgrimDan:
Just to throw this bone into the conversation... Have we ever seen or are we ever going to see Kringle and Donar Vadderung in the same place at the same time?
