Quoting “Meat•Plow<meat@·petitmorte.net”:
“ I am the poster known as "Meat Plow." It has come to my attention
that I have made several statements in the preceding years which have
produced harm to various individuals, and which I now regret.

In particular, I caused to be re-published certain libelous and
damaging comments regarding the attorney, Charles Novins, Esq.
Additionally, many of my words evinced disrespect and disdain for Mr.
Novins, all of which was unjustified.

Unfortunately, I and several other participants in these groups lost
sight of the original purposes, mostly entertainment. Instead, as the
online invective grew more bitter, I (and others) got caught up in the
group dynamic, and the lack of accountability engendered by anonymity
caused me to post personal attacks on others that I never would have
made outside the unique environment of the internet, which allows
posters to cast aspersions upon others without having to do so to
their face .

Having communicated with Mr. Novins via counsel, and having obtained
true information about him and his firm, I deeply regret having
participated in threads which disparaged him or his firm. In fact,
Mr. Novins is an excellent attorney as far as I can determine.

Attacks made upon his staff were similarly reprehensible and false. In
the past, I should have ignored all such conversations which portrayed
the Novins Law firm in a negative light, and I will do so in the
future. I should have spoken out against the people trying to damage
him, and I am doing so now. As I personally pointed out in a
years-old post, there was never any reason or justification for the
malicious attacks

I explicitly regret any words I might have posted suggesting that I
approved of any other individual that attacked Novins. I am sorry I
ever associated with any such person.

These are my true sentiments, and a careful review of my postings will
reveal several other instances where I vouched for Mr. Novins's
integrity. Although I did also state negative facts and opinions
about Mr. Novins, I now realize they were stated in anger and in
error. That's because I now have factual information, and I
understand that the anger was unjustified. ” ―
