You obviously aren't getting it. It's been said about 15,000 times in this post that NOBODY blames Justin for leaving the group. Nobody is angry that Justin realized his time to go solo was then, and seized the opportunity--it was a smart move on his part. BUT. People DO blame him for picking such a lame excuse, and people DO blame Chris and JC for going along with it.

There was no need to make Joey and Lance feel responsible for a decision that they ultimately had no say in.
And don't include the NOBODY, because you don't speak for everyone.

And you obviously missed this post!

It was obviously Justin who wanted to end the group and if people want to be pissed about that, then so what? Let them. From what I understood, JC and Chris knew that it was the end. Why would Chris want to end something and then openly talk about how depressed he was and how much he misses the group? I don't understand people trying to defend Justin in this or say that Lance shouldn't speak up about it. This is Lance's story and for years none of the guys have straight up told the fans what had happened. So what if it's not convenient for Justin's reputation?

All Lance has done is confirm rumors that we all knew existed but had argued over again and again.

I think what pisses me off about Justin in this whole thing is how he's always saying how he goes against what he should do and that music shouldn't be categorized and that's exactly what he did to *NSYNC. They could have evolved but we never got a chance to see it.
