I ended up in Equestria because some random magic anomaly swept me away. Now I have to deal with these emotional ponies. I keep telling them that my past doesn't matter and that feelings are irrelevant but they keep trying to "help me".
I figured that Celestia saw Anon as more of a problem than a citizen, he kept secrets, wanted to use 'evil magics', now this other half wants to have peace and friendship. If one was truly evil, wouldn't they not try to re compensate for their crimes and instead go to war? All known villains of Equestria are obvious with their evil intent, in other words Celestia probably hasn't encountered a villain who apologies for their crimes and will re compensate with peace and money. Villains are always greedy, arrogant and are never in the wrong. Lathran explained his 'mistakes' in front of Celestia.
9604510 And that's why she had Anon purified and turned into a friendly person which Lathran murdered and stole a dangerous magical artefact and Celestia just let it all go. Yup that makes sense, just letting some immense powerful being that committed murder and is in possession of very powerful artefacts go makes totally sense, on the other hand we had Anon a being with no magical abilities and an average physic, yup he totally was a bigger threat he'd probably MacGyver himself a nuke or two using all the advance tech that ponies totally have.
I think some revision is in order, your argument is compelling. Also thank you for making a good argument for your reasoning, the world needs more people like you who can point out stupidity when others can't see their own.
I figured Anon could easily replicate chemicals used in chemical warfare, nukes are over his pay grade. Sulfur, oxygen, water and salt mixed together properly would result in hydrogen chloride, turning this into a gas form can be very dangerous to the health of those who breath it in. Resulting in ponies dying from strange gasses they know nothing about. It would be fairly obvious when it makes a yellow cloud, but it spreads quickly. This devastating chemical mist is relative easier to make than nukes and could be mass produced with proper glass lab equipment and proper heating. A few errors may arise with storage but after succeeding griffons could drop this gas in glass containers randomly and innocently, playing it off as a mistake. Or failed shipment in pony lands, resulting in many deaths before they realize the gas is killing them and that the griffons lied.
Phosgene is also a harder option but gives off no color and smells of hay, in pony society they would have a much harder time seeing this gas and finding out how it killed them. At higher concentrations it would merely look like a fog going through a town, but my the next morning almost everypony would be dead and no one would know why.
9605439 Fair enough, thou I would question how Anon would know this as this is not something that an average person knows, unless he's a chemist or studied such things, but regardless Celestia obviously doesn't know this, from her perspective Lathran is a far greater threat given his magical powers, a small army of golems, magical artefact and willingness to admit to murder. Anon as you mentioned in Celestia mind was a nuisance at best, which she dealt with via purification.
One other good point is why would Celestia trust Lathran at all, again a being of immense power and who casually admitted to murder, even if supposedly for a good reason.
9604521 It makes sense when said being just told you that thry can destroy the planet. A truce while not knowing how they would do it is better than start a fight you will win but make the other side desperate enough to use whatever they said coukd destroy the planet.
Both chapters feel kinda rushed, especially the second one with Celestia being ok with everything and just moving on with things.

Shouldn't they have talked about what "evil" and "crimes" mean?
It just looks like something that can be abused by both sides too easily.
