Dude... Glacies...

Look around you.

Do you see beards? I see beards.

Those beards will beat you to a bloody pulp if you continue acting like that.

I'm going to have to go with Glacies on this. They do bring stuff I can use, plants I can make my dwarves eat or brew, exotic animals to train and, in wood-sparse enviroments, wood. That and I usually stick with rock mugs from the start, which they don't mind. And I keep those mugs in a vomit-and-blood free enviroment. Then I'll switch to abundant metal I have, make crafts out of that and sell those.

Really, I'm much too dependent on the caravans to afford to cheese any of the races off.

And don't say that rock is not something you have in abundance and are willing to export.

Althought it's a little annoying to carefully pick all the mugs out of the bin, but the giant desert scorpions are worth it, no?

Glacies, I will not have any Dwarf of mine saying things like that in my fortress! I'm drafting you into the army and sending you to your room!

So I can lock the door and let you die of thirst.

I just lost a fortress that had lasted 14 years because 2 sieges arrived in a season, both right after Elves!

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

They obviously sabotaged your fortress!

Hells bells, yes. And while its annoying to pick the mugs out the bin, it beats the alternative of going with no bins and having to find the damn mugs on the list.

And who can't say no to a nice giant desert scorpion, or a giant panther, or a jaguar, or some other exotic animal.

Hey, elves are the closes thing we got to cannibalistic ninjas, so until we have pirates they rock! Unless they look and act like that fruity annoying Orlando Bloom poor excuse of a hollywood rape of elves everywhere.

If I wanted to recreate the world of one of my favorite stories, I should be able to specify that there is a civilization called Groan, ruled by Earls from a castle called Gormanghast.
You won't have trouble supplying the Countess with cats, or producing the annual idols to be offerred to the castle. Every fortress is a pale reflection of Ghormenghast..

nonsensical gibberish

Call 911, he's delusional.

There there, nice dwarves in white suits will take you to a nice room fuuull of levers. You like levers right? You can pull any lever you want! Then lots of pointy funsys will come out and tickle you! Yeees, happy times.
And then you go to an even better place.
Look Glacies, my point is that they say one thing and do another, we just do stuff and talk about it.  Besides, if you buy 100 wood from an elven caravan when they've put that mandate on you, you still get in trouble with them.  And did anyone actually notice the "hippycrites?"

They only bring me dead animals and berries I already have. I use their bones for my artifacts since high value animals like beak dogs and trolls no longer exist. I don't really miss the 3 logs per year they might otherwise bring and their ambush parties provide a good way to get rid of the fodder

Yes, they often act as scouting parties for goblins, assuming they are granted a certain amount of delicious dwarven flesh in return.
