oops, bit the newbie

oh shoot. i just made a classic mistake. i’ve been editing the wikipedia enough to feel like i have a good feel for it now. and then i spotted a relatively new contributer making point of view edits and i jumped all over him. i bit a newbie in my haste. just apologized a bunch on his talk page and the article he’s editing this weekend. but i feel bad. even if my points were valid, by coming on so strong it must have been alienating and possibly discouraging for him. and that was really my mistake.
