"Cruel deeds by dark and light" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was just wondering how could the dwarves in the War of the Dwarves and Orcs perform cruel deeds. They were fighting Orcs after all, perhaps this was a time when some Orcs repented like Tolkein said they could do in some HoME quote or another. The wise said the Orcs should then be spared but maybe the Dwarves refused to. Or maybe they didn't distinguish man from orc or something, Any ideas?
