I don't know Barry Irwin personally and I've never had any business dealings with him. I can't vouch for his honesty or integrity. But I can read/hear and understand what he has said and it seems pretty clear to me.
Here's what I understand his approach to be from what he has stated: He has zero tolerance for anyone in his employ who intentionally tries to circumvent the rules. When someone does that, he takes his business away from them for some period of time that he feels to be consistent with the violation. After an appropriate period of time, circumstances may permit him to give a past violator a second chance. He also takes into consideration that accidental violations sometimes occur and he does not feel compelled to withdraw his business for such violations.
I think what he has said is straightforward and reasonable. Only he knows if his actions are always consistent with his policy. I certainly would not profess to know enough about his business dealings to judge his actions in this regard. But his policy seems clear.
