A statement and apology

Pah! A week and a bit in, and I've got my first legal problem. What I want to know is who taught a 12 year old the concept of libel, and what exactly did they hope to gain by it? Either way, I would like to issue the following statement.

Following yesterday's entry upon this blog, dated at 16:14 on the 15th of July, 2010, it was brought to the attention of the family court that my brother, referred to as a “crispfinisher”, disputed these charges and felt that the publishing of said allegation constituted libel against his person. As a reconciliatory gesture to settle out of court, I, the author, editor, and publisher of said blog, would like to acknowledge that said accusations were, in fact, erroneous. Furthermore, it has been brought to my attention that the crisps in question were in fact communal, and that I have no legitimate claim of ownership nor incurred any losses by the finishing of said crisps by a third party. I also appreciate and accept the fact that if the finishing of crisps is going to cause arguments within the familial unit, access to further packets shall be restricted thusly.

I would therefore like to apologise unreservedly to the plaintiff, and a new nickname shall be agreed upon at an undisclosed future time. Should anyone have any suggestions as to what is appropriate to call a smart-arsed 12 year old who claims libel over accusing him of finishing the crisps, they shall be taken into consideration.
