Sometimes, and objective stepping aside, can really bring to light ways to address issues that you may be having. I'm glad your also giving the guy a chance. Because it really seemed to be an out of the blue experience, and he sounds like he didn't realize how much of a social problem he presented, that he's going to be taking that whole session to heart.
