I'm newly-returned to D&D, but enjoyed many surprisingly serious debates about ethics and morality back when I used to game a lot.  Nice to know some things haven't changed!  P.S. Of additional potential relevance - my Paladin is half orc and was raised as a member of an orc tribe.  I really don't think that from his perspective, in the context of his religion and the ethics of the quasi-Medieval time in which D&D occurs, carving up an already-dead Goblin is not even close to being an evil act.  I killed him fair and square in battle, and tried (without success) to prevent another player from slaying his fellows after they surrendered.  (I'm strong but kinda slow, and the rogue in the group took out the kneeling goblins before I could stop him.)</blockquote>
