Of course they brushed him off. This was a stupid publicity stunt to begin with.

Everyone complains about Jack Thomson but there has always been people like him. In every arts and entertainment form there are people like Mr. Thomson looking to judge or call it morally depraved. There has even been many people who faulted the game industry for decades. You know the difference here? Gamers and the Gaming Media have decided to focus on him and give him the press he desires. He faxes something and it's on every gaming news site, blog or forum. Everyone is up in arms, "There is crazy person who hates our hobby, and he's a lawyer!".

STOP. TALKING. ABOUT. HIM.

You wouldn't have to complain so much if you realize nothing he says had any logical value. Which most of the mainstream press realized 2 months ago.

You know... I wouldn't mind a more clear-headed and mentally stable lawyer taking Jack's place at this point. You know, someone who uses actual facts, someone who waits until there's proof about video-games affecting minds and causing violence.
...
But no.
Most lawyers whom are clear-headed and willing to do the right thing?
They're mentally stable and smart enough to know that they wouldn't stand a chance.
Besides.
With Jack, whom would we laugh at?

P.S.: Jacko, if you're reading this, be aware that Freedom of Press applies to all forms of organized informative media.

Please, no more Jack news, guys! This is exactly what he wants. Attention. Avoid from posting news, and he'll go away.

I'd hate to say it...

But I don't think he'd go away even IF people tried ignoring him.

"Never argue with an idiot: people won't be able to tell the difference."

But then... if you let JUST a stupid person talk, and nobody else does, then the only word people are going to go by is by the idiot's word. At which point, then everybody follows the idiot's move and goes for what he wants. You think that comics, rock and movies gave up without a fight? Hell no. People fought back.

Seriously I check the news every day hoping and praying to see headlines liek this "Jack Thompson Caught in Child Molestation Skeem, Friends With Micheal Jackson" or "Jack Thompson Killed In Carwreck" or some of the sort, but hopefully not "Deranged Counter-Strike Player Takes Jack Thompson Out While Yelling About Aim Bots and Wall Hacks"

Maybe like this

"Jack Thompson caught peeking in ladies dressing rooms and blames video games"

"Jack Thompson loses his job and blames video games"

"Jack Thompson gets sent to nut house and blames video games"

"Jack Thompson caught in a suicide attempt and blames video games for it"

"Jack Thompson is accused to have sex with a minor who was on crack (why else?)and blames video games"

No matter what he does he's gonna blame games, forget him. There's a million of those bible thumping nut jobs out there, you cant reason with those guys. Just ignore them and laugh occasionally to make yourself feel good about gift of sanity this day and age.

Again, I doubt he's going to let up even if people ignore him. If anything, he'll probably speed up once he sees he has no opposition. Besides, he's treading the line dangerously at this point with some of the quotes he's been spouting out lately. Sooner or later, the Florida Bar is going to deem the dude too mentally and ethically incompetent to be able to practice law ANYWHERE in the U.S.A. But that's not going to happen unless people make them aware of it.
And if he's ready this, lemme just say this too him...
Jacko...
Somewhere in the U.S., you're depriving a town of their village idiot.

Ha ha! Take that Jack you Nazi! I've also realized something about Jacko. He's BOTH racist AND sexist. Just ANALIZE what games he went after and what he did to Reno.

Where is Jack's gum flapping now? I don't see him post anything in here yet? I thought he would jump at the chance to make a comeback saying,"I never actually meant what I said, it was supposed to be 'satire'." I find this funny, he gets his butt kicked again by a law enforcement agency now!
