@Bluesonic1: I've noticed from the way they treat you, that they'd definitely turn on you if that day ever comes. Yes, they would be stupid enough to attack you, knowing what you are, as Delphine indicates. She's [over]confident enough that she could kill you before you reach for your sword. As you are in-fact a Dragon in essence yourself, they will eventually see you as a threat. These aren't the same Blades of the past.

@Cheatcodechamp:  "No base to hold onto" except for the fact that the Blades refuse to help you any further if you don't slay a dragon (Paarthurnax), who's amended for his crime LONG ago. They, more importantly, expect you to be a merciless dragon-slaying tool in general.

The Greybeards also didn't know of the "Dragonrend" Shout. Because they had no knowledge of such a hate-filled Shout invented by mortals, not Dragons, they knew of no way to stop Alduin.

Not once do the Greybeards indicate that you're some normal individual that they'd have to force to follow their faith. They merely ask if that is what you'll do. In the Greybeards' eyes, as the Dragonborn, you are the obvious exception to the rule.

^Same with Talos/Tiber Septim, as I've already mentioned. As Dragonborn, the Greybeards felt Talos had an incredible destiny, to eventually conquer all of Tamriel. As such, they chose to train him and named him Ysmir, and not once did they even try to "manipulate" him into following their Way.

Hah! A crime that Paarthurnax committed approx. 4,000 years prior to the events of TESV: Skyrim, and one that he's been amending for all this time. The Blades aren't seeking "justice" at all. Bluesonic1 has already sufficiently covered the Blades' lack of reaction.

The Greybeards see the participants in "Season Unending" as men of war, which is quite accurate, and they don't think very highly of such men who'd rather waste time [and lives] fighting each other. The very fact that Paarthurnax allows the peace conference to happen is just another point in favor of Paarthurnax's redemption, as a Dragon who followed his inborn nature (instead of resisting) would not have done such a thing.

The Blades have done nothing too effective for the war-effort. They were almost completely destroyed by the Thalmor, and now they're distracting themselves with a task beyond just ending the threat of Alduin. Not only would the hypothetical death of Paarthurnax suck, it would be completely unnecessary and accomplish absolutely nothing that would contribute to the war effort.

Nope. There's no way that I'm helping the deluded shadow of a once-great organization restore itself. I'd rather form a new organization after this current one finally dies out.
