And as a JC fan...maybe about a year late, because that still burns a little, if I'm being honest. It sucks that JC just didn't know at the time that it was over, because I do truly believe that he might have looked at his solo project a little differently if he had known.

God, people! It's not about the fact that he went solo. It's about how he went solo and how he told the other guys that he wasn't coming back. That's what pisses people off.

I don't think anyone said that it was his fault that he chose to move on. It does suck that he didn't step up and let the guys know before he did because it did have an impact on four other lives that weren't his own. It's called consideration and generally you have that for friends.

I agree with these statements. I don't begrudge Justin his fame. I'm glad for him, but (IMO) I think he could have handled his leaving better.
