But Meg was a demon -- that's not the same as torturing people who are in hell. They aren't demons ... yet.
My point is Dean enjoyed torturing Meg. That she was a demon makes a difference in terms of whether his action is morally justified but it makes no difference at all in terms of whether or not Dean is capable of torture.
My point is he's talking about what he did in Hell as if he'd never done anything like that before. And he's fooling himself if he thinks that's true.
As for listening to angels, the only thing he is listening to is the threat toward Sam -- and that he is trying to do something about.
That's just my problem. Dean is not trying to do something about that threat.
In the past, whenever anyone - Meg, Azazel, Gordon Walker - has threatened his family, Dean has always hit back. He either took them out himself or at least showed that he was willing to.
If the way he's treating Sam is about the angel's threat, why isn't he looking for ways to take them out? Or at least Uriel? Or, if that's not feasible, why isn't he looking for ways to hide from them, or protect against them? (Especially after the Anna incident, which showed those ways do exist.)
He's doing none of those things. Instead, he's treating Sam like the enemy. That's not consistent with the way Dean reacts to a threat against someone he loves.
