From: JeffRelf.F-M.FM on 30 Apr 2010 15:47 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. ” ― http://groups.google.com/group/alt.usenet.kooks/msg/c9fccf0d1ab26ace
