LostInSpace Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Well yes, but it didn't bring significant attention to it. If you want to give him a piece of your mind: John B. Thompson, Attorney 1172 South Dixie Highway, Suite 111 Coral Gables, Florida 33146-2750 Phone & Fax: 305-666-4366 Email: [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Prezioso Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Bear in mind, that if you DO contact him, if you are verbally abusive or rude in any way, in his (twisted) mind, all you will be doing is proving him right. So, BE POLITE! Engage him in ideas, as you WILL win since his position is not grounded in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I usually advise people of that but in this case I don't think it really matters. quote:...He is also known for insulting those who do not share his views through e-mails by calling the senders idiots as it has often been demonstrated on forums where people would post copies of replies he sent to e-mails which had been written in a very polite and justified manner.

LostInSpace Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 I think someone might have provided this link before but I'll give it again to point out a few things. gtasanandreas.net quote: "As a sign of support towards RockStar, The Hot Coffee Mod is no longer available. I've removed this download out of free will. - PatrickW." he mod is no longer available for download, and Patrick is no longer supporting it, mmmkay? quote: "Jack Thompson is oozing again. Eww."...... (Also, Super Mario Bros 3 teaches kids that throwing animals at brick walls, getting high on green leafs, getting stoned, and suddenly growing twice your normal size from eating magic mushrooms is perfectly normal. Why Thompson has yet to file a complaint against Nintendo for trying to turn America's youth into a mass army of potheads is beyond me.) Like I said, I think the world has gone insane.

rjy01 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 quote: Like I said, I think the world has gone insane. I concur. Rational thought for a great many people went out the window a long time ago. But keep the faith LIS -- there are still some "normal" people in the underground.

His response: Well, he (maybe some lackey) replied but, said nothing. Strange. I mean there was nothing written in the reply. Why take the time to reply to email that you aren't going to actually reply to. As I indicated in my missive to him, I believe him to be doing these things for self serving reasons only.

rjy01 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yanked from Gamespot: quote: RUMOR #2: The FBI is investigating death threats e-mailed to Florida attorney and feisty game industry critic Jack Thompson. Source: E-mails threatening great bodily harm forwarded to this and other publications by the attorney himself, as well as a Thompson-penned plea to Senators Hillary Clinton and Joseph Lieberman (sent to their offices and media outlets, including GameSpot) wherein Thompson asks for "help your respective offices could give me in persuading the FBI to act in response to these threats." The official story: "People are threatening to kill me." And: "The FBI is all over these." --Jack Thompson. "No comment." --FBI spokesperson, North Miami Beach Division. What we heard: Among the dozens (and dozens) of unsolicited e-mails this Web site has received from attorney Jack Thompson over the past weeks, a handful were singular in nature: they included e-mails purportedly sent to Thompson which contained threats on his life. By anyone's standard, the e-mails sounded dastardly, indeed. One read: "For being a total f***ing ***hole. I think video games or [sic] freaking awesome, and they are my entire life, and for you to insult them, is like telling me my life is totally worthless. For this, sir, I AM GOING TO F***ING KILL YOU!!!" [Expletives masked by asterisks.--ed.] Another forwarded to GameSpot from Thompson read: "this is not spam, its [sic] my right as a citizen to send you thousands upon thousands of emails saying the same thing until you die painfully from gun shot wounds." And a third: "Everyone thinks you are insane, hence the name 'Wacko Jacko', which makes you the equivalent of a molester. Therefore you are gay. I hate you, and the world would be a better place if you were brutally murdered." We gasped along with Thompson. When we alerted Thompson that we intended to seek out additional details and verification of his claims from the FBI itself--as to the status of such an investigation and progress being made (the FBI employs trained media specialists for such purposes), Thompson replied with some urgency: "Are you, crazy? ... People are threatening to kill me. Either report what I have said, having been provided the emails, or stop bothering me." Bogus or not bogus?: With members of the Bar (aka lawyers) compelled to tell-the-truth-the-whole-truth-and-nothing-but-the-truth, and an FBI agent who doesnÔÇÖt overtly deny that an investigation is underway, likely not bogus.

Matchoo Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 So these people that are mad at those that are claiming that video games cause people to be more violent are sending threatening e-mails? Any one else catch the irony here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
