You people are saying that you don't like him 'cause he's still upset that his family died two years ago.
Not exactly. It's more like the manner in which he is expressing his grief after two years.

Let's face it, though: We didn't really see him moping before he started fighting again, or before he came into contact with people...........................
Well he wasn't completely screwed up by the tragedy but that doesn't really say much. As you mentioned below he'll revert to that self-pity stage of grief when certain external triggers are present. The bottom line is he still sleeps with his sister's cellphone hence it's clear that he either can't get over it or won't let it go by his own volition. Shinn's situation reminded me of Captain Sisko's own in the pilot episode of Star Trek: DS9. Perhaps what he really needed is an Orb experience.
