She shoved him.  He gives her a right cross to the face.  She made contact with him first, sure, but to say her action justified a full-force punch is flatly absurd.  He went from 5 to 100.  

Believe it or not, you can condemn what he did and still recognize that both parties have since resolved their dispute amicably and this is all water under the bridge.  You don't have to justify, defend, or make excuses for what he did in order to be comfortable with taking him.  What he did sucks.  Everything that came afterward was right.

I agree with this post more than any other in the thread. Yes it happened, yes it was despicable, yes he did respond to a 5 with a 100.

I also agree that this was 3 years ago and he's said and done the right things since.

I'm willing to give him a shot as a player...it's repeat offenders (like Pacman) that I think we should dump or avoid.
