Taking satisfisfaction from avenging friends doesn't mean that the killing of Maul doesn't benefit others. And there's nothing wrong with that, but the Jedi would say otherwise. On an impersonal level, it's good because it's one less enemy to the Bear Clan back home. Mercy is wasted on Maul. I've read canon books about Maul taking great delight in slaughtering his victims. Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter is one example. He's the sort of killer than Anakin can avoid being, even if he kills Maul, and appliies emotions like anger during it.
Filling a Nazi with lead doesn't make soldiers evil, yes. And being a dictator that fills Nazi with propaganda is pretty bad. So, may as well help Dooku not buy into some propaganda, by taking a more moderate stance. This means somewhere in between Yoda's cult, and Sideous's.
Speak for yourself. Hard men making hard decisions is what give the soft men a place to lay their head, and raise their families without worrying about the next ruthless dictator rounding them up for believing something different, and disposing of them. Doing nothing is what gives people like Palpatine, and other CANON madmen the means to steamroll their way into power. Mandalorian conquest, gangs taking over, it propagates when good people do nothing.

the reason we have a place to sleep at night is because someone, or some group of people, built a little thing called civilization,, made laws to deal with other "hard men", invented things like the combustion engine and division of labor. Society is a group effort, and physical protection is only a small part of that effort, an effort which shall go to waste if "f*** you got mine" becomes the rule of the day.
