Why do folks always say that the Others have killed his people (the losties)? We havent seen any proof of such a thing..not one lostie has been deffo killed by an Other - even Nathens death is becoming more and more shrouded in mystery (was he an Other Other..aka a threat to the tailies?).

What exactly has made that interpretation of Nathan more likely of late? I still don't see it.
Sayid - eh, he's pretty much lost to me now. I still enjoy his episodes, but he was lost to me when he went back on his vow for no reason other than because he believed Rousseau, and it's sheer luck that he was right. I don't want to smack him though, because I feel sorry for him as well. I particularly feel sorry for him in his backstories. Soldiers like him are often doing what they do because they've been brutalised, conditioned to accept that torture is somehow reasonable and, more often than not, because if they disobey there's a threat hanging over their families. While agreeing to torture even under those circumstances can hardly be praised, it's the big guns who ought to be taking the major flak. And to get over all that and move on for a time was an amazing feat. So it's his having gone back on what he knew to be a morally correct decision - not to torture anymore now he's grown beyond the need to - that I really abhor.
