He already knows what folks think of him. He even stated it himself. There's no faulting you for missing that though.
I don't think he was looking for pats on the back. I think he was wanting to clear his own conscience.
Any "pats on the back" here are for what he is doing now.... not what he did in the past.
I missed nothing. He deserves to take the bad with the good. And if he wants forgiveness so bad then perhaps he should stop lying about not having played the game before as well. Seems to be a pattern here.
Pretty much. Seems like a ploy for attention given the need to set up a background story for "Butcher". You can can get away with a lot here by just changing your name and moving on from it.
