This, pretty much. Why should he jump into a dispute that he knows doesn't concern him?

If one of Dee's friends jumped in to defend her, I doubt people here would be happy about that, yet Audley's getting flack for not doing that for Gary. Gary's my second favourite after Audley, but I'm tired of him being held to a different standard in every single situation. Sure, sometimes it's necessary (like expecting people to make more of an effort when talking to him, etc), but a lot of the time I feel there's just a double standard.

He wasn't in a situation that warranted Audley's intervention. And, frankly, most people would feel awkward and get away if the two people they were talking to suddenly started arguing.
