Actually the one who said that was Galen Trollbane, not Thoras. But yeah, we did blight them. Though they are trolls with which the Trollbanes were against for centuries so it's not surprising that Thoras would want to exterminate the filth.
Oh, excuse me, could've sworn Thoras said something about it, either way, the notion either of them want to basically nuke a part of the Highlands is pretty much nonsense, which is my main point. If alive, they would not harbour such interest.
Speaking of Galen though, another prime example of any Undead actually showing free will being declared an enemy and having to be exterminated.

It still does nothing to justify why people raised on a battlefield immediately turn on their comrades or why Sira would be so loyal to her killers and Delaryn obedient to the person who seemingly had thousands of night elves (the majority?) burned to prove a petty point.
That's pretty much what we're discussing, though. That is the issue. No one is annoyed that people getting raised are ticked off, that's naturally understandable. It's how they're ticked off which is an issue.
They've become so overwhelmingly obsessed with raising people that it hasn't even got shock value anymore. Everyone's just rolling their eyes or legitimately disgruntled at how crap it is.
I don't think they realise how badly the idea of "anyone who dies can come back", especially when overdone, just cheapens literally everything.
