I did kill him. He was the author of widespread suffering and outright genocide. He switched sides, not due to Kynareth, as he admits, but due to Alduin's own claim to godhood, and has hidden on his mountain ever since. Behind the protection of the greybeards and nordic reverence based on the myth he was sent by Kynareth, possibly started by Paarthurnax himself, he has managed to avoid facing punishment. Many of the nazis that escaped to South America tried to blend in, even turned thier lives around, but we found them and made them face justice. Imagine if you found one of the escaped officers, running an orphanage, and he begged you not to tell the millitary tribunal in Nuremberg you had found him, because he had changed his ways. But then he proceeds to tell you that at any time he may revert to his old ways and start another holocaust. Do you let him go? I wouldn't. Couple that with the fact that Skyrim needs an organized dragon hunting guild far more than it needs masters of the voice, however wise, and the choice was clear, Paarthurnax had to die.
