I know he has a history, and I know he was an asshole earlier. I'm not defending what he said to you at all. How fair is it to hold something against him that happened over a year ago, though?
I doubt he lasts the month he says he's going to be gone for, but I do know he feels bad.

I agree with you to an extent. But I dont have the burden of holding it against him for a year. He continues to show a lack of growth. Yesterday is a good example. He's willing to sell out over nothing. If he really was interested in his own self respect he would seek out that poster and give him back his 50 bucks. I mean it's 50 measly dollars. But his integrity continues to be worth less than 50 bucks. Who am I to place more value on Clayton than he himself does?
Dont misunderstand my position on this. I dont require his self banning. I didn't ask for it. In fact, looking at his reaction in whole, it looks more like an attempt to save face than a gesture of apology.
The whole thing is water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. To me, it's just another poor decision in a long list of poor decisions he's made in the time I have observed him on here.
Whats important is not my opinion, but his opinion of himself. Thats where he's lacking. It's unfortunate when the people around you expect more from you than you do. If he changes that, then I will be happy for him. Until then, I have no issue looking him in the eye and telling him his behavior is unacceptable.
You should stop making excuses for him. It wont help. It might make you feel compassionate. But it only feeds the problem.
