Personal accountability and acknowledgment of past, present, and future challenges seems to be lacking with both M&H. It is growing tiresome with some of these millennials in their 30s still acting and/or being referred to as kids. The fact is they are adults. They should own their decisions and actions 100%. Not the woe is me. As pp said upthread humans are flawed. So right you are.
Hypothetically speaking here, lets just say if M&H were scapegoats, which is awful in itself, as some of us personally know all too well. As "scapegoats" you walk away with the understanding that no matter what you say or do, that nothing will change the past, present, and future. The absolute last thing a scapegoat wants to do is sacrifice themselves for slaughter once more. They aren't looking for any gain except for having peace within their own lives and nothing more. The one who loses the most in the end is the scapegoat. M&H's decision to leave was respected. So much so that The RF gave them a year timeline to reconsider just in case there was a change of heart vs. just cutting them out and saying bye you're cancelled. Very gracious on The RF part and they showed warmth and understanding. Unfortunately with the public airing of M&H's grievances for entertainment value for the entire world to see doesn't make M&H scapegoats. Not one bit. The tit for tat needs to end.
As far as Piers goes, He recognized that he no longer fits into his place of employment and he resigned. Happens quite often with celebrities, journalists, and every day simple folks. He'll branch off most likely satellite and continue on.
