Not that the guy who put up the page will be reading this, but...
I'm not clear why everyone is convinced that ANY of the characters actually FORGAVE Jayne. I believe, and it was my first impression on watching the series, that rather than forgiving him, Mal, River, and Simon each assessed the threat and determined how to best respond. After "Ariel" and "Trash" all three of them had seen what we must assume was the worst of Jayne's character - knowledge is power. Simon may have given a nice speech about choosing to trust Jayne, but in my opinion it was his only option and is not implicit evidence that he had actually forgiven him.
The captain is in charge, to put it simply, and Simon had found a safe place for himself and River on Serenity. What would have happened if he purposefully killed, or allowed to die, another member of Mal's crew? Mal had already gone out of his way to protect the brother and sister - alienating him and jeapordizing their place on the ship seems much riskier than living with a known threat and keeping his eyes open.
And surely River's statement "I can kill you with my brain" does not translate "It's okay, I forgive you."
Don't make faces.

Man, Sparticus here is grade A gold. I dont know what my favorite part is, where he personally attacks everyone who is a 'Jayne sympathizer' or the random accusations he makes of the show.
I know I was touched by this piece of class under the category of To All Jayne Fans
"You are a piece of subhuman filth and a threat to civil society."
Nice, I mean I thought I was enjoying a character who was experiencing personal growth and from time to time 'got stupid.' But now I realize that according to Mr. Quince I should... kill myself.
I also loved the very first section, Jayne's Crimes; Quince says that Jayne commits TWO CRIMES, and how horrible he is! He was treasonous and sold out the Tams!! Wait...treasonous and sold out Tams, sorry I'm rolling that around in my head because I could have swore that treason and selling out were uhhh.. the same things.
But as we all know there are two kinds of people in this world;
A: Those that are better than everyone else
B: Those that tolerate people who think they're A
"None of it means a damn thing"
