I've always maintained he was blameless in the shinanigins, he simply got duped.
and the 'muh chat logs' . . . ya, that didn't work out for him.
if there were chat log it was with people who were larping and releasing them would have made jack seem even more of a dupe.
but , like Peter Sellers much beloved character, Jack comes through . . .
I felt bad for him then.
And then there was the news story of him being kicked out by his bride and sleeping at the train station and I thought 'ahh. . . guys in love with his bride and someone spoofed his phone or something and . . .
next thing they are back together and he's Mr. Dad.
So I see him as a young man who fell on his face but just picked himself back up and kept on walking.
I admire that.
