Yes, people are being too harsh on him and thats unfair. They all have done lots of stupid things we should be able to live with that not rant on and on.

As for Ellie and Craig I would love to see them together. I love Ellie and I love Craig but I also love Ashley. I'd prefer Craig with Ashley because I thought what they had was true love and Craig did break Ellies heart and made clear that he wanted to be only friends. So I'm torn it means I'm satisfied with everything they come up with.
