To be honest, at this point, I don't care about the town being destroyed either. XD, I still don't like Rumple at all. Yes, Robert Carlyle is a good actor and portrays a complex character. I will give you that. But it's not enough for me. I have a huge list of grievances that Rumple has done that still bother me:

-He let Belle kill Gaston. -He nearly beat Emma in NYC for lying. -He's separated at least eight children from their parents, despite considering his own separation from his son the worst thing ever. -He's been abusive towards Belle and Baelfire, his wife and son. -He helped Ingrid curse the entire town. -He tortured August. -He tried to lure Emma, his beloved grandson's mother, into the Sorcerer's Hat. -He lead Cruella and Ursula into town to resurrect Maleficent. -He crippled himself to leave war. -He disguised himself as Hook and touched Belle without her permission. -He stalked Belle. -He used Belle as an alibi for murder. -He helped the Author create the AU. -He helped Regina frame MM. -He abducted Kathryn and kept her as his prisoner. -He was willing to let Storybrooke die twice. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He tried to kidnap and mind-wipe Henry and Belle. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He tried to kill Henry. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He beat a man half to death for kissing his girlfriend and then continued beating him for his own entertainment. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He forced Whale to kiss his boot and beat him for looking at his girlfriend. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He hospitalized a man for something he didn't even do to someone he didn't remember. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He abandoned Emma in an elevator shaft, tied Regina to a chair, and left them in the library while their son was dying all alone in a hospital. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He skinned Robin Hood alive for days just for stealing something from him. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He murdered his mute maid. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He turned a boy's parents into puppets. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He turned a butcher into a pig for no reason. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Verdana,Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">-He turned a man into a snail for accidentally hurting his son.

And don't go comparing him to Regina. I hate Regina, too, and I can acknowledge that she's more horrible, but that's not gonna make me hate Rumple any less.
