I gotta give y'all a little bit of humor at the end to make up for everything else haha 

It is honestly a little more forgiving at that time in particular than I normally think of him but I was kind of poking at the idea of like, I feel like alllll the blame for everything somehow gets set on Fëanor's shoulders, and like sure, yes, he's the one who escalated it to physical violence, but it is very clearly pointed out in text that that the Fëanorians were not the only ones making swords. They were very much not the only ones spreading rumors and causing trouble. And I think that like, there's something to be said for how violating it would feel to find out that you've been manipulated for such a long period of time in such a way that you've effectively just decimated your relationship with not only your brother but probably all of your brother's people because of that manipulation. And now he's being exiled for 12 years and you won't even get a chance to try to fix things and like, it isn't as if it's difficult to figure out that Fëanor will not in fact be reflecting or whatever while he's gone. My guy can hold a grudge like nothing else I swear. Also like, it helps that Fëanor suspiciously followed him and confronted him pretty much immediately while he was still kind of reeling from said revelations. Given a day or two that would nottttt have worked & would have just escalated into a whole fight. Anyway. Yes I think the exile was stupid and caused more problems than it fixed. 

But yes!! I'm happy you liked it <3 Thank you for commenting!
