SH, the comment that suggest supporters of Jim had no morals stated the author could not support him as their morals were too important to them, hence FG's response.
I know a lot of people who have turned their lives around, having done some pretty nasty things, and a very common factor amongst them is guilt and a constant need to put themselves down despite their progress, as constantly insisting you're still a bad person prevents you from being complacent and stopping the considerable effort to work against the way you were previously programmed to be. "If I were myself, I'd get chucked out" is not Jim bragging, but Jim putting himself down, telling others he is flawed. Why would he do that otherwise? Not many people chirpily say to women, "Hi, I'm a wife-beater!"
He knows all the jokes he has cracked, and that he is viewed as a relic and he has placed himself in a very vulnerable situation. I never watched Hell's Kitchen, but if everyone's claims about his behaviour then are true, what must have changed to make him able to control himself now, if he couldn't do it then. One answer - Jim. And he'd probably be the first to say that it's a work in progress.
