    The time is approaching when someone is going to have to put this guy in the nut house. I hope all those self-serving pandering politicians who like to align themselves with Thompson against the invented evils of video games start seriously considering the kind of delusional maniac they've decided is their ally.

  3. Subpoena as evidence? by R2.0 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ok, now that I've trolled in another post, I'm wondering if the folks trying to get him kicked out of the Bar could enter the subpoena ITSELF as evidence of JT's unfitness to practice law.

    Get off your high horse. Jack Thompson is of interest around here, because of his links to the anti-gaming lobby. It's Friday, it's a hilarious story, and we're all enjoying it. You know who Thompson is, if you have been around for a while. That's like asking "Which Bill Gates? How should I know?"

    he can claim that gaming has driven at least one person to raving lunacy... Himself! (at least in my personal opinion.)

    The enemy of your enemy is someone you can use against your enemy, and then steamroll later when his/her defenses are down. Best friend I ever had=)
