Meh, I already read this on Gamepolitics, it's been clear this was going to happen for some time.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

i doubt he'll stop, but the fact that he was disbarred kinda reduces the supposed legitimacy of his arguments, or at least keeps people from taking him seriously.

IIRC, the judge was also considering making him pay a shit ton in damages for all the legal fee's his litigious behavior was creating- something in the area of seven figures. Any word on that?

I don't think anyone that can think independently took him seriously anyway.

true, but he paid allot of the dependent peoples bosses (allegedly) to agree with him, and if you're a brain-dead zombie, you enjoy a good game of follow the leader. now that he has $0 and some amount of change (not to mention the charisma of a week-dead raccon and the social standing of the piece of gum the bum who lives in the park across from my house just pulled off his shoe and ate), no one in any position of power will listen to his batshit insane ideals.

If you had used the search button you'd have noticed that this was already posted in the News Room section.

Remember kids, it's search button first, THEN post.

 

[Jumplion]

Bah, I'll say what I said in the news room thread.

Someone else will take his place and history will repeat itself. That being said, I wonder who's next?

Wasn't actually trying to be condescending, but if it came off that way then such is life.

It always comes off as condescending when you self-appointed forum police go on about search, then post...search,then post. The simple fact is that if it's not on the front page for all intent and purpose it doesn't exist. Most people aren't going to be bothered with running a search, they scan the front page and if the thread doesn't exist they post it.

EDIT: Ignore this.

Which here at The Escapist is against the rules, I know, I've read them. Maybe you should too.

It's not against the rules you silly, thread copy-catting is, and that would be the same thread word for word(with slight paraphrasing), this is a thread necro which means it has variants and other points of view differing from the thread that wasn't to speak of except in bugger-all nostalgia and an obsession for going back 300 pages.

Mods tolerate and respect thread necro-ing and besides he was disbarred recently, the old thread was on the possiblity.

Actually, thread necro-ing is different. That's when you find a thread that's long dead and post in it rather than starting a new one on the same topic, which mods don't tend to take kindly too. And I'm aware it's not technically against the rules, I was confused, hence the reason I removed that post.
