My perception from the revised EPL (I saw them briefly when one alt was farming the tabard but don't have a real sense of the change) was that the BoL was a group of Argents which failed to learn the lesson of the Scarlets. It struck me as a sort of tragedy in the Greek sense of the term: We know they too will eventually become like the pitiful remnant of the Scarlets being mopped up now.

Like the Scarlets, the BoL went with the "Ends justify the means" and seeing mercy as a sign of weakness.

My own Paladin views these groups with the following thoughts:
Argents: Too rigid and legalistic, often missing the bigger point. What kind of idiot sets up a tournament in a warzone? Why jousting when the fight to defeat the Lich King has nothing to do with horse riding?
Scarlets: Once you forsake the Light for pragmatism, you've lost everything even if you win battles (or, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world...")
BoL: See Scarlets.
