I think if lots of people are in peril, then I think you should try and save everyone and forgive them, not just Gray.
I agree, and this bothered me a lot in "The Last of the Time Lords" when the Doctor took it on himself to forgive the Master for the death of millions - all those innocent people on earth who were killed or enslaved at the Master's whim. I think I understand it better now. At least with Jack, it's easy for me to see that the forgiveness was not for Grey's crimes, but for his personal hatred. The rest was another issue which Jack can't redress or address.
