Jack Thompson Responds to Take Two Suit

interactive_civilian writes "Jack Thompson has personally replied to ArsTechnica regarding their coverage of the lawsuit from TakeTwo. Really, it's best for Jack to speak for himself: 'I have been praying, literally, that Take-Two and its lawyers would do something so stupid, so arrogant, so dumb, even dumber than what they have to date done, that such a misstep would enable me to destroy Take-Two. With the filing of this SLAPP lawsuit last week, my prayers are finally answered. This lawsuit, filed in US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, is, without a doubt, the single dumbest thing I have ever seen any lawyers do in my thirty years of practicing law--while in continuous good standing to do so with The Florida Bar, I might add, the shock radio and video game industry's efforts notwithstanding.'"

Re:Good standing?

You're in "good standing" until your license is revoked. Sometimes it seems like a lawyer's primary skill is to lie by telling the truth. When he says that, he is technically telling the truth, but through the language he uses (which is absolutely technically accurate) he makes it seem like the bar is supporting him completely, which is of course the diametric opposite of the truth. English is a really great language for lawyers because every word tends to have a whole pile of meanings.
