Flowers for Jack: If you can't beat him, send him pretty things

Feb 9th 2006 3:51PM (Joystiq)
Well said, Alex. I too am a Christian and active gamer. I agree that it appears as though Jack has failed to embrace the exact virtues he claims as a defense of his "logic". There is no Christlike-ness in his behavior from the correspondences I have observed. He cares only to be put into the spotlight and be paid to rant. I truly believe that it is his intention to use this campaign against violent video games as an avenue to obtain fame and/or riches. He's figured out what "sells" for a lawyer, and how he can exploit it.

I consider it disgusting to continue to insult and generalize an entire segment of the population based on the behaviors of a few truly sick individuals. I am married and love my wife very deeply. I often play violent video games with her (co-op play), and we both enjoy them immensely. We are actively involved in our community and church. We enjoy snowboarding together, hiking, and socializing with our friends. I feel that video gaming is one way of releasing stress and letting out tension. It is a healthy pastime, and I feel more able to perform my regular duties and tasks afterward.

Jack, it is untrue and unjust for you to assume that all gamers are little assasins in training, for we are not. I understand your need to make a living (I have a full time job, while also attending college), but I feel that your methods are less than honest, and you have taken the low road.

P.S.: Accusing us gamers of harrassment for sending you /Flowers/ (which you suggested in the first place(?)). Wow.
