Jack Thompson Spams Utah Senate, May Face Legal Action

eldavojohn writes "Yesterday, GamePolitics ran an interesting story about the Utah Senate President threatening Jack Thompson with the CAN-SPAM Act. You might recall Utah being Jack's last hope and hold-out after being disbarred in Florida and more or less made a mockery everywhere else. Well, from Utah's Senate Site, we get the picture of what Jack is up to now: spamming his last friends on the planet. The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting on Senate President Michael Waddoups' statements: 'I asked you before to remove me from your mailing list. I supported your bill but because of the harassment will not again. If I am not removed, I will turn you over to the AG for legal action.' The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Waddoups confirmed on Tuesday that he would attempt to pursue legal action under the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 against Jack Thompson."

It's guys like him who give lawyers a bad name

Per subject: it's guys like Jack Thompson who give lawyers a bad name.

He has lost his mission, he has lost his friends, and what does he do---piss away the last he had.

Truly this is the time to quote Leia: the more you tighten your grip, the more systems will slip through your fingers.

Soon, all Jack will have left is an empty clenched fist, which he will be free to wave at anyone passing by his soap box.

May it be put on a deserted island.

Now, let's all play a game with tits and guns! :D

God Dammit!

Why couldn't he have given us some warning before doing that?

Now we have to arrange for confetti and parade floats and marching bands all on short notice!

Does he have any idea how hard it is to get a 500ft Master Chief balloon in just a couple days?

Re:Jack Thompson is right: it's NOT spam.

It's time to create a new term for the reasoning used by lawyers: lawgic. It's just like logic, except that... well, actually it's nothing like logic; that's why we need a special term.

Truly, there is never a time to quote Leia. Not even on Slashdot. Truly.

I know. Somehow, I've always known.

These tactics remind me of a trick on how to check out other girls with your significant other present: feigned outrage.

"Wow look at her shes wearing almost nothing at all. Will you look at that top? You can almost see right down her shirt. And look at those pants! They are so tight they show everything. Disgusting isn't it?"

And that actually worked for you? No offense, but you need to find smarter women to date.
