Maybe he's amused by it because John's completey unaffected emotionally by any of it other than irritated and John being John can appear angry and upset when actually he's just venting, in the same way he used to vent about and at Corin , Rachel 1 in the house. That's the impression he's trying to give anyhow and it may well be the truth, the majority of John's tweets since going back to OZ have been in that vein after all mocking, ridiculing, scathing, Josie's no loss to him, he has no respect, interest or caring feelings towards her anymore, he's moved on.
Just one problem if John's so unaffected by what Josie says about him or what she does why's he still paying attention 7 months later, it's easy enough for him to ignore anything and everything Josie related isn't it? He's in Austrailiaaaaa, no one over there's going to know or even care about a couple of less than complimentary remarks made in the UK press by an ex girlfriend..
But he is still watching and he is still bothered even if it's only in a 'I can't stand her' 'wish she'd shut the F up' way because when he visits twitter he doesn't do it to talk with his 160K followers about his life or to share his interests with them he's always done it with a specific purpose most of which has been to single out Josie's most ardent haters/detractors for his attention and recognition. It's an unspoken but tacit approval for them to carry on with what they're doing, he doesn't need to spell things out to them or to say anything else himself they do it all for him. Ok ok but what can I do about that? is his cry of faux innocence, John's not innocent with regards to the hate that's directed at Josie by his fans and he knows it.

John brought out that email to show to the twitter land the opposite of what has been said on paper: which was, I will not contact him........”
Isn't that just a different take on what I will not contact him means ie in the context of the article I read that comment as in she has no interest at all in contacting him with a view to forging any kind of future relationship with him. Emailing him to ask him to speak to his fans in order to try to stop the hate isn't really the same thing is it, she miscalculated because she thought he'd let go of his anger towards her, she was wrong, she won't make the same mistake again. In a way as ugly as it was it was probably a good thing too because now they really can cease and desist. She with her comments, he with his proding the embers of hatred every now and again.
