Had V blasted all the goblins to tDO's lap with their usual gusto, no-one would be accusing Roy of anything. I really don't see how this is worse than if they'd all been blinded and sneaked-attack to death.

I'd say it has to do with the fact that they were rendered incapable of harming the Order of the Stick, making further harm redundant.
