[GothmogII]

Oh...I almost read that as 'Jack Thompson found dead' sorry...that's wrong of me I know, I just read it too fast...

Still, the disbarment, good news I'd assume ^^'

Re: the emergency motion to stay the disbarment... who filed it for him? I thought Jack had no standing to file without the approval of another member of the Bar, thanks to his earlier antics... or is he ignoring that, and thus bound to be ignored by the Court?

That restriction on Thompson only applies to Florida Court; his attempt at having his disbarment stayed, along with his other suits against the various figures involved in this mess, are federal, where for the moment at least he can still making filings without needing a permission slip.

Now if we could only get this acknowledged as a paid national holiday...

I'll try not to speak ill of the dead, but I just don't get this guy. If he seriously buys even half of what he's selling why act in the way that ends up here as opposed to doing serious litigation and grass roots representation?

Oh well, reap what is sown (did I spell all that right?)

 

[Gahars]

Yes

I'll be in charge of the confetti

 

[meatloaf231]

I fell part-glee, part-shame that I'm so glad that someone's career was just ruined.

Mostly glee.

 

[lukemdizzle]

we won! gamers actually won something!

 

[Cyclomega]

May we now continue our gaming?

But they're no fun anymore without being hated Dammit, I want someone to hate us again!

If that can help, I usually hate everything and everyone on a daily basis, with a fierce determination and a multitude of bad examples, libellous allegations and optional racial slur for a small affordable extra. Good news, my services are exempt from taxes.

 

[yourkie1921]

Oh shit, now someone who's an actual threat to the video game industry might try to take his mantel.

Edit: Beaten by one post, you lucky fu--

I think thompsan was very competant at making the majority of a non-gaming population hate gaming. But he was only competant at that because most americans are unintelligent.

 

[bodyklok]

To be honest, I just feel sorry for him but at the same time it was his own fault and that's worth a few LOL's.

 

[Cyclomega]

Oh, and by the way, three cheers for Florida Justice Dept.
Good job !

Jock Thompson : up yours ! HA HA !

Aaaaaah, feels good...

 

[milskidasith]

Holy shit holy shit holy shit!!!! YES!

Drinks on me!

 

[Xhumed]

Oh no, who is going to stop me from turning into a car-stealing murderer now?

Oh that's right, ME.

Maybe one of the circuses there will take him in...

the big loon.

 

[TheBadass]

That's the beauty of the American constitution, one citizen can use his freedom of speech in order to try and take away someone else's freedom of speech.

Then use it to silence him.

Sadly I'm one of those rare cases who believe everyone should have freedom of speech, even if their views are stupid and their arguments are backed up by lies (Read: Jack Thompson). So for now I'll continue to do what I always did, ignore the bastard, cause I know he isn't going to have any real affect on anything.

Probably shouldn't be allowed to express those views in a court of law, though, right?

 

[lukemdizzle]
