A public apology to Massad Ayoob.

That really showed a lot of character. Thanks for being a gentleman. It's great to see little reminders pop up in one's daily life about how we should conduct ourselves. Not just on an internet forum, but life in general.

It's a great example for everyone.

I agree wholeheartedly. I also believes this incident is an example of how the internet allows incredible opportunities for lies to be spread (even unintentionally) but also for the truth to be told.

Most of the character assassinations that have taken the place for debate these days are based on these kind of half-truths or outright lies. Few have such dignified endings.
 
Crap..

I like the apology AND the acceptance of that apology so much I think I'll just type those posts out and duct tape them to the top of my monitor..

Seems I spend an inordinate amount of time apologizing and a much lesser time accepting apology's online so it'll make it real easy from here on out..

I'll just look up at the top of the monitor and type out whichever response is appropriate... :D

Posts like this one separate this forum from the others. I prefer to think of this as a gentleman's forum. This was an applaudable exercise in professionalism.
 
I've learned a great deal from Mas Ayoob's books, articles and videos over the years.

I have the 5th Edition of Combat Handgunnery and the Gun Digest Book of the Beretta That I have read cover to cover and found very informative.

I also like Mr. Ayoob's writings in Combat Handguns magazine every month. I learn something new every month in regards to self defense and the legal implications that your actions can have. There are quite a few things that have been written about that I hadn't considered when it comes to the subject of self defense. As a concealed carry permit holder, it never hurts to be informed of things that can either make or break your court case if you ever have to use your weapon.
 
This post will serve to remind me that there are people behind the screen when I post - real people.

Thank you both.

Sometimes we all forget the there is another real person on another keyboard and with fake monikers and just get carried away. Good to see that gentlemen with character still remain.
