everyone knows who he is, the guy who keeps trying to get all computer games banned. what do you think about this guy?

He is one of the various person I genuinely do not understand. Why are mainstream terrorists globally hated, but a terrorist on games is actually supported by so many? I don't get it. Silly life, shitting on the plate of enjoyment with people like him.

He got disbarred recently, no?

yes he did, but he can still spout his random BS publically

That he can kindly go fuck himself.

He's a douche and he can't hurt the video game industry anymore.

In my mind it happened like this:

All the noble gamers looked down at his bloody, lifeless body,
"It is done friends, it is done"
And they walked off into sunset

The end.

You mean the guy that isn't able to legally practice law anymore? Cause I don't think he's much of a threat now, well, he wasn't ever much of a threat, just a nuisance. Like a pest that needed to be exterminated. He got what was coming to him.

got 12 or so days before he is FULLY disbarred. So by the end of the month he is no longer an official attorney...but one can argue if he ever was one to begin with...on a professional lever that is, with the conduct he acts in.

Anyways I find him to be a despicable person for the way he exploits peoples misfortunes..like that of families who have lost loved ones like the V-Tech incident. YES IT WAS CS THAT DID IT!!...fail. He There's a reason why he's been labled a massacre chaser..hes there ready to pin the blame on CS or doom or GTS the second the cameras show up. He's increadibly immature and has no sense of humility or decency when doing his job, a ruthless man with no shame at all who lie's when on his soap box and harasses or tries to downsize people who oppose him. I am greatful he has lost a job he has grown unfit to professionalize in. If it where not for his lust for games, he may have been a decent lawyer, but his obsession led him become a media whore and a sorry wretch of a human being.

Unfortunately even when he has lost his job and what little "credibility" he has left, it wont stop him from shouting and screaming like a little child to get his point across. At least without his lawyer status maybe some people will wise up and see he's a sham.

He's an ass, but he's totally insignificant and we should really just ignore him. Especially now that he's being disbarred.

I am so making a mainstrean game where every enemy is a mini Jack Thompson... With a side dish of extra violence...

Keep in mind, that there are numerous news networks that do not regularly give a damn the credibility of their sources of information as long as it gets people to watch.

There is a major problem with ignoring him. that is all the hapless ignorant masses who don't play video games and will blindly follow his lies and so the ignorance and stupidity spreads and so in a way he may win. We need to oppose idiots like this who spread lies and propaganda and inform the ignorant masses just how much of a joke he is with REAL proof and not the shit he spews. Ignoring him will not work unless we get non gamers to ignore him too, if we do not, then he win's, he is free to brainwash people into thinking he is right and the problem spreads. So hence forth ignoring is the worst thing we gamers can do, it's best to fight back with evidence then to let him keep shouting and throwing bad evidence at the masses who just it that shit up.

He has good intentions, trying to make the world a better place,

That being said, it's his tactics that make him scum.

He lies, he exagerrates, and most of all, he ignores the violence in every other form of media. I'm glad he's disbarred from practicing law.

This decent lawyer tried to devalue another legal person (I am not sure he was a lawyer) by showing to the corp a portfolio of gay porn that said person alledgedly downloaded.

Two things wrong with this: American courts don't give two shits if someone is Gay anymore, and said portfolio had a very large amount of very graphic gay imagry. This incident helped lead to his disbarring.

Now can we stop bringing up this jerk?

There's a guy in my school calld jack tompson. He has strange hair. And likes playing Halo 3 and CoD4 on XBox live. And he thinks it's weird that I'm a girl and I also play these sorts of things.
Completely unrelated, but y'know.

Maybe, but there is little we can do about him. It's better to ignore him and focus on educating people would think.

I think we should all get together and teach him to use the search button so that he can participate in one of the flux of conversations about him that started upon the announcement of his disbarment a week and a half ago.

I foresee a lock in the near future. Please use the search button in the future as I am sure there are many, many threads on this particular man. Welcome to The Escapist :)

He's a very pretentious person. He makes claims that he can't really back up successfully.

I've always half hoped that he'd snap and go on a rampage killing game developers. Y'know, for the irony.

Delicious Irony soup with a side of pathetic!

Thompson is just too funny and to take seriously.

I think he's 100% right in what he says. I agree with him totally. /sarcasm

For heaven's sake, what kind of response do you think you're going to get when you ask about Jack Thompson on a gaming forum?
