Jack,
you know for someone who claims to be such an expert at law you sure seem to play fast and loose with legal jargon and with word choice in general.
You wrote:
You can't be a journalist and file a governmental regulatory action against someone whom you repeatedly cover in stories without disclosing that conflict of interest to your readers. Duh.
You certainly can be a journalist and do those things. You may not be an ETHICAL journalist, but you can be a journalist.
You also call a bar complain "a governmental regulatory action." Now, correct me if I"m wrong, but the Florida Bar is not a government body. If it were, why would it be allowed to take public positions on legislation and lobby? http://tinyurl.com/nuv3s
Also, in your earlier post you referred to this complain as a "SLAPP Bar complaint" but SLAPP stands for "Strategic lawsuit against public participation." A complaint is hardly a lawsuit is it?
I have already pointed out how unusual it would be for you to get "decency" fines enacted and that the FCC was fining people for indecency as far back as the 1970s.
Now I may only have 3 neurons left, but it seems to me that when insulting a group of people it would be more effective if your statements were factually correct. If you are correct then the facts can speak for themselves and there is no need for insults to cloud the issue.

Jack,
You got the FCC to impose decency fines? That really is remarkable since they usually impose fines for indecency and not decency.
However, you must mean decency since the FCC has been issuing fines for indecency since the 1970s http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/business/graphics/web-fcc970.html

Of interest may be Jon Festinger's book Video Game Law which covers the various videogame laws that have been passed, but also lawsuits involving videogames from the cases involving Ralph Baer's patents up until Blizzards suit against makers of the bnetd project. It seems to have been published only in Canada, but if nothing else it can be ordered from the publisher. http://www.lexisnexis.ca/bookstore/bookinfo.php?pid=1220
