They're taken directly from the texts, which is probably why. :) I have a document with all the mentions of Maglor in all of the books, and I just went down the section from the Silm and made this list.
I read the comments above, and there are people who think Maglor's a wimp?!
I think among this crowd, there is a more nuanced understanding of him ... but yes, I have seen a lot of stories where he lacks courage to (for example) stand up to Celegorm after Maedhros's capture, where Celegorm is trying to move in to take the kingship. I am willing to be convinced of anything in a story, but I personally do not see that based on how Maglor is depicted in the texts. (Nor do I see that being true of Celegorm, but now I digress ... ;)
Anyway, this eventual post/essay will argue against that point. Although, polling the people who read here probably doesn't address the group most apt to use that particular fanon. :)
