I can't remember if Fel was described as that in the olden days (at least the blood elf manatap racial or the manatapping in the TBC cinematic didn't have any green effects), but regardless, it's not that anymore. The exiled high elves didn't want to manatap living beings, i.e. animals. Nothing to do with Fel as it stands, they're simply mana-vegans. Bob exiled them, because besides an ideological difference they posed a security risk, as they ran the risk of turning Wretched—there were no surefire methods to fend off their addiction besides manatapping, which was a new thing Rommath brought from Outland. Their society was on the brink of complete collapse at the time, so them's the breaks, and Bob did regret it later.
No comment from me whether SC elves are right to be mad or not, but they do carry sins of their own. Since I play a blood elf myself, I'm inclined to flip the bird at their attitude.
