Yeah I was always disappointed by the Blades closed-minded attitudes toward Paarthurnax. They refuse to let go of age-old hatred for crimes that didn't even affect them directly, and that he ultimately helped to rectify, and yet refuse to acknowledge his good deeds and the long centuries spent teaching his philosophy of peace.

The Blades are genocidal maniacs who blindly follow the ancient prejudices of long-dead people whose hatred stemmed from a time of oppression and cruelty that has long since passed. Their creed is no longer necessary or justifiable in the fourth era.

I always wished that the "Paarthurnax" quest would've allowed me to either reason with the Blades, or intimidate them into submission by telling them what backwards muderous psychopaths they were, and that I, as Dragonborn, wouldn't allow them to continue down their genocidal path. Either they would see reason, or I would stop them by any means necessary.
