Not all of us Martha fans are shippers, though some of them sure make us look like that's the case. Yes, I think that Ten treated Martha pretty callously, but I also think Ten treated Rose pretty callously. (And what he did to Jack was beyond callous.) That's part of the characterization for this incarnation. Five, for instance, would never have sought out twisted vengeance on the Family.
Personally, I do not get why Who fans feel the need to get so fucking bitter. Wait around a bit and there will be a new incarnation, assholes. I don't like Ten - in fact, I loathe him, but it's just another aspect of the character and I can still enjoy the show.
Hee, and what is this whole concept that the Doctor needs to obey some ST:TNG version of the Prime Directive at all? A non-interference policy never has been part of this show; actually quite the opposite.
