"The other Skeksis...well...they didn't take so kindly to our ideas. They beat us, and they banished us. The Mystics rejected us, but they didn't hurt us - violence isn't in their nature." As long as skekGra has lived, he only knew one Mystic, urVa the Archer, who's willing to use violence when it's necessary.
And as much as the Heretic has come to despise violence, he has to admit there are times when it's necessary - some people can't or won't be reasoned with. He just prefers to leave it to others. He's shed enough blood in his time, and has decided no more.
skekGra doesn't seem too badly affected by his experience now - it was a long time ago and nothing can be done at this point. However, the nail in his head and the binding around his secondary arms suggest exactly what happened.
