Official Jack Thompson Thread

[Tendronai]

We all better hope that some smart-ass kid doesn't decide to "defend our honour" or whatnot and take him out. That would make him a martyr for his cause. We really need to just ignore him, and wait for time to do our work for us. Unless he wants to claim that Black and White corrupted God and wouldn't let him dodge mortality, then we win.

Why am I not suprised that he show up on Fox news? For someone who claims to be a champion of God, and a defender of what is right he certainly gets a mental boner whenever school shootings happens. I mean the bodies aren't even cold yet and he's already started parading around like he thought up the fucking theory of relativity. I mean this guy wouldn't piss me off nearly as much if he would give the families a chance to mourn and the police a chance to investigate before he swoops in on the corpses like a damn vulture.

What is his email? I have a document, a large essay on things like video games vilonce, and sacrlige in games, that I want to send him. I also have a few questions. Im not gonna like, spam hismail with threats, the smart, calm approach is always far more effective.

I already made that comparison, you are stealing my thunder!

Y'know I have never bothered to read up on anything about Jack Thompson other than about his "crusade" against video games, but after reading some things on wikipedia I've realized that this man has always been a complete jackass. I mean the things he's done over his entire career makes Fifth look like a goddam saint.

This is the first time I've ever thought that Janet Reno was awesome.

Is what's listed at the florida bar's member page for him.

...kind of ironic, his email account is.

How ironic.

Really, the fact that he is still alive disproves his entire argument that gamers are violent.

Edit-

Isn't that the point?

I tried sending an email to that account, but it sent me back a delivery failure notification. Has it worked for anyone else?

Edit: After a google search, I found this email address. I haven't checked yet, but it might work better.

Edit2: That hasn't worked either, and after looking a bit more, I haven't found one that does work yet. If anyone finds one, please post it here.

I couldn't resist. The photoshopper in me just screamed out.

The angle of the source image wasn't perfect, but the glare of disgust in the eyes sold me on it.

[bass_virus]

That is without a doubt the greatest thing that has ever been created. I mean someone has got to e-mail that picture to him, I'd bet he'd get a chuckle out of it... or send you and e-mail where he curses at you then says he's gonna sue you for harrassing him.

I just wish someone actually did, instead of the faux "Hit A Caricature of Him Cause It's Funny" 'threats' that he got.

It's amazing how we can have snipers kill presidents, yet nobody wants to take a gun to this nuthouse.

This is the last thing we want. He would be a martyr. He'd be justified. And like the virus he is, a score of people would rise in his place. We'd be truly underfire, and this time they would have the ammunition they need to get truly gruesome.

What I wish I could do is stand up on national television and apologize to the world. I actually, because this is how bored I get and how furious Jack Thompson makes me as both a Christian and a Gamer, wrote up the speech I would use.

"I would like to officially apologize to the family and friends of victims of the Virginia Tech. What you have suffered is a tragedy that can not be expressed in words. I would also like to apologize for the actions of Jack Thompson.

This is not the time for fingers to be pointed, for blame to be given. This is the time that we, as a nation, as a people, need to rally around the survivors of this massacre and join them in the mourning of the fallen. His attempt to take this situation and use it as a tool to inflate his own podium is both disgusting and reprehensible.

There is no justification for his actions. No words to explain the rightness of his actions. And there shouldn't be, for this is not a time of words. I offer up my consolotory prayers to the students and staff of Virginia Tech, and my deepest feelings of sorrow for the loss of so many innocent."





I thought about chiming in about how I am a gamer and played violent games and blah blah blah, but did not want to turn it into a spitting match against JT, but rather a public slap in his face and redirection to what we as a nation should really be doing.

Guh, I fuckin hate him. Really. Fuckin. Hate him. As a christian, as a gamer, as a human being. I hate him.
