I am not a person that believes in biting the newbies, or in speaking harshly to people without trying to reason with them first. Beacon provided the example of our first interaction, where he came in on the end of an argument, and rather than acknowledge that he was new to the argument and treat him with the respect he deserved I simply snapped at him and dressed him down. The issue was highly contentious and had been going on for some time, but that isn't an excuse for poor behavior on my part, only an explanation. I've given this one a lot of thought, and while I have no doubt that Beacon and I will continue to disagree, in this particular case he is absolutely correct and I admit to treating him badly when we first encountered each other. For this, PrBeacon, you have my most sincere apology. <a href="/wiki/User:SeanNovack" title="User:SeanNovack">Rapier</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:SeanNovack" title="User talk:SeanNovack">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:PrBeacon#c-SeanNovack-2011-01-20T16:35:00.000Z-Apology" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:35, 20 January 2011 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-SeanNovack-2011-01-20T16:35:00.000Z-Apology"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-SeanNovack-2011-01-20T16:35:00.000Z-Apology"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-PrBeacon-2011-02-09T20:13:00.000Z-SeanNovack-2011-01-20T16:35:00.000Z"></span>Appreciated.
