I can't remember everything I've read about this since the throttling incident, but it left me with the impression that Saatchi wanted to spare Lawson any further digging from then on - hence "accepting a caution" - in the normal way of things these big egos tend to fight things unless they are bang to rights, and I'm not sure that he was.
I haven't yet got a sense of him being vindictive. But we only get to see these things through coloured glass, so that might not be the case at all, and I had no real preconception or knowledge of his character.
