Manhunt Murder Attorney Speaks

Posted by Zonk on from the i-thought-lawyers-were-supposed-to-be-mannerly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Kotaku has an exclusive interview with game hating attorney Jack Thompson -- sort of. Actually it's a pretty funny, and telling, email back and forth between Kotaku's editor and Thompson that seems to reflect his disdain for gamers. Love the kicker - what an ass." The pleasant Mr. Thompson has been discussed previously on the site.

    Hey there,
    It's Brian D. Crecente, editor for Kotaku and RedAssedBaboon and reporter for the Rocky Mountain News.
    Couple of things on the post about Thompson:
    1. His email address is very public and listed on his webpage.
    2. I didn't fake it.
    3. I doubt someone else is using his email address, but I suppose an underling could be.
    4. I've been a police reporter for 10 years and a gaming writer for five, and I always send out very short email requests for interviews. People don't have time for long messages.
    That probably don't convince anyone, but maybe it answers some questions. Feel free to email me if you have any others at Brian@kotaku.com or swing by redassedbaboon and chat with me there.

    I'm figuring the exchange is real.
