Take a good look at a male night elf. Now take a look at a male troll. They look as similar as orcs and humans look.
I mean just think, only resemblances (besides the clear ones, 2 legs, 2 arms), is that they both have long ears. The end. Goblins have long ears too by the way. Night elves and trolls don't even share same amount of fingers and toes!
And you got it backwards. Night elves look like Elune, because Elune wanted so. Maybe she was a racist and didn't like how trolls looked.
Though what you say in first part is true, this is the same argument generals ordered to commit genocides in real life use. "I was ordered to". Does that make them less guilty of doing it?
And night elves aren't hypocrites at all. They didn't use arcane magic and only accepted, but not easily, some group of Highbourne back after seeing the humans using magic safely, after having been helped by Jaina, a mage, after being in Northrend and seeing that mages (Dalaran) can do good too.
And let's not forget that night elves were right originally. I mean, what did blood elves do once they left Kalimdor? They made a Sunwell, a source of power... which was in BC used to summon Kil'jaden... by blood elves. They also teached humans magic, without telling them of the Legion of course, leading to necromancy and similar things, Dalaran thinning the veil between us and the Legion, Archimode being summoned in Dalaran etc. The night elves were originally right, but their most important reason for not using magic was that it corrupts and it could summon the Legion. They saw that the corruption might not be so bad in humans and the Legion is already here.
If anything, the Highbourne were the hypocrites. yes, they were night elves, so if you were talking about them, I agree. Why? Well they used magic, summoned demons... then they didn't stop, Illidan even made another Well, ensuring the Legion will come again. The high elves then made ANOTHER Well, it was like Well paradise everywhere.

You should edit the 0 post with this or you'll get more people coming to say you're a blood elf. Just a suggestion.
