I guess you could turn the question around too and ask, if Gil-Galad's people had held a Silmaril, would Maedhros, Maglor and Amrod have attacked them knowing that Celebrimbor was there? I have to say I think they would, unfortunately.
Maglor and Amrod, at least. They don't seem to know what family is.

Erm... sorry...

I agree, I think they would have too.

Did all the Fëanorians take part in the second kinslaying or was it just the C's? [/RANDOM QUESTION]

I quite agree. That damned Oath appears to have been able to draw them to any atrocity. Imagine attacking the Host of the Valar, and, getting away with it. Cheek.

Yeah. What disturbs me most is that they used the Oath to justify making no attempt to rescue their own brother.
