Then, when Locke "feels something", he couldn't give a crap about Boone's safety. Go back down the boulder-strewn hill in total darkness, don't let the razor-sharp rocks kick you in the arse on the way down.
Except that when he could not convince Boone to go back, Locke accepted his decision and let him continue. After Dark, Boone did want to go back, Locke then again accepted Boone's decision, and tossed him the flashlight, which would help him notice the redshirt flags.
It is not Boone's safety he couldn't give a crap about. If anything, it's his own. But even then, he has proven himself to be capable of taking care of himself.
Locke seems to accept people's decisions without trying too much to influence them, even if he thinks it's a bad decision.

Yeah, totally.
I noticed this with Jack too. I appreciate it. He seems to be a "take responsibility for your own damn choices and actions, let's go then" kind of guy.
not enough evidence in yet on Ethan's psychosity
I'm actually having am-I-from-another-planet-where-people-don't-kidnap? cognitive dissonance.
He kidnapped 2 people, one of them an extremely pregnant woman. Okay, maybe he was escorting them to some safe location that we the viewers don't know about. Fine, maybe that wasn't a psycho thing to do. I can relent on that until the evidence is in.
But in what fucked-up worldview is HANGING SOMEONE not considered psycho?
Tep, I'm with you on the Ethan-is-a-psycho thing.
All the S-named people, represent! Testify!
Locke seems to accept people's decisions without trying too much to influence them, even if he thinks it's a bad decision.
In some cases, though, he seems to instigate the bad decisions. Like when he gave Sayid the knife after he got knocked out by an unknown person and he thought it was Sawyer. Why would he hand over a knife? "Oh yeah, here's a knife to cut some bark so you and Sawyer can sit down and have some bark tea and work out your problems."

Maybe on his planet, being knocked unconscious and hung from a tree is a luxury spa treatment, like a mud wrap, or a hot stone massage...

Hence my Locke = Blackavar comment on Wednesday night.

I thought you said Blackadder for a second, and my mind went off on a weird tangent.
