I gave up looking at that thread a while ago. It just seems to be a battle between the “fanboys” of each side, discussing about topics neither knows fully about.
The thing is, the topic of the Elites can be discussed for eternity, with one side claiming that Elites are better than the opposition think, while giving evidence, while the opposition states that Elites are worse than they think, while giving evidence. This isn’t to say either person’s evidence is any less valid than the other’s. There is evidence out there for both sides, and different interpretations and opinions for this evidence. The Sangheili have been a battleground for so called “author infighting”; with people like Nylund, Buckell and Grace seeing the Sangheili as being great and powerful, in strength and spirituality (Kevin Grace to a lesser extent, but for obvious reasons). Whereas Traviss, game story writers and, to a lesser extent, Staten see them as boastful, self-righteous and overall weaker than Humans.
It seems like we (as Sangheili “fanboys”) are losing the discussion is because there are fewer of us, not due to a less valid argument. Both sides appear to have valid evidence for both arguments. I hope this all makes sense, this is how I’m looking at it anyways. 
EDIT: Actually, should I say this on that thread?
> I just hope I’m wrong about them in all my negativity, I honestly do.
Don’t worry, we’ve all done it. Well, to be honest, I have, quite a lot. xD
It can be a bit disheartening (if not absolutely horrible), but we just need to keep this thread going, all the way up to Halo 6 if need be.
