If you respond to evil with evil, you are not justified nor a good person. After all, the knights she had murdered and desecrated did not murder her, did they? They just abused her. So how is it fair or deserved? A good person would find it in them to forgive them, especially after so much time has passed. An okay person would at least bother finding out whether those who wronged them had changed/regretted their actions and at the very least would confront them themselves. It takes someone cruel and devious to just plan cold-blooded murder like that, especially after so much time has passed.

Hell you interact with one of the knights personally and he really doesn't strike you as that bad of a guy, does he? I doubt Geralt would have acted so casually and even cordially with him if he considered him despicable. And we know from Detlaff's memories that another of the victims had good in them too. They could have both changed. They might've told Syanna that they were really sorry and ready to make it up to her. But they never got the chance. She just sicced an immortal, unstoppable assassin on them while watching everything from the shadows, sipping her sister's personal wine just to spite her.
