What people think of him doesn't matter and never has, what he did was to save the people he cared about. But he can't tell John that, and his faithful friend thinks he is still the man who apologised for being a fraud.

Lucky for me, it seems Scotland Yard's remit doesn't reach here, and newspapers aren't in syndication. My reputation cannot be damaged by a few kidnapping victims.
It can be damaged by you pissing everyone in a 10-mile radius off. This isn't a case where we're in and out with people. These people here are ones you're going to have to deal with constantly for the next however long it takes us to get out. That might be months away. Months of people who act like Donovan and Anderson when you annoy them, not me and Lestrade.
You seem to be getting on with a few people, at least. That's nice. Hange's (@donner) hard to offend, as far as I've seen. That doesn't mean you should take advantage of them. Alfie's got a sense of humor about most of that, too, but please don't test him. He likes to needle.

likely for them, but that doesn't matter. You're my friend. I don't like seeing you hurt.

I still don't see why how they see me will have any bearing on my ability to deduce the correct answers.
