Given the craziness in the air *cough cough 400 page report,* it's still hard for me to read anything that seems hostile to RTD/references Capt. Jack without seeing it through the prism of the Ianto situation.
I appreciate that you are now on board with the real!Jack believers, even if you find that makes Jack unlikeable. To me, it makes him the Jack I fell in love with, who I was prepared to mourn if things had gone the other way.
I think the idea that a new shag of any gender or species as an acceptable way to relieve pain (be it man/woman/other) is very Jack, as we were given him from the very first episode. He's always used people...that's the first thing we saw him doing, presumably both shagging Algy for fun and being perfectly willing to boff Rose both because he wanted her and because it would help the con.
But regarding the specific issue of assuming you were attributing the moping (which as far as I could tell was actually non-existant until the Doctor showed up) to Ianto's death, mea culpa.
