That's a valid point, but I kind of feel the opposite - even if you keep the elves from attacking Merrill, you always end up covering for her (unless you simply skip the quest, which I'm not sure can really count as showing disapproval). You can't kick her out of the party, and you can't turn her over to the elves who are howling for blood (or if you can, I missed it). It's like the game expects you to take Merrill's side, and that the elf community is being OMG SO MEEN AND UNFAIR just because she, woops, released a powerful demon and killed their leader. It's not like she could have known, having only been told to quit it nonstop for seven years.

With Anders, almost the opposite is true: everyone, including Orsino, views what he's done as a horrible atrocity, which it is, but nearly everyone (except Merrill, shocker) expects him to be executed. You can simply kick him out of the party or forgive him entirely if you want, but that's treated as an unusual response.

tl;dr, The fact that the player HAS to forgive Merrill makes me feel like she gets off easier than she deserves compared to Anders.
