Jack Thompson Calls Kotick Out on Modern Warfare Comment

[DazWolf]

Like any other idiot addicted to the media, every time he slips off that last page, Jack's got to scramble to find some ounce of shit to throw to make sure people hear about him a little bit more. It's rather irritating that news venues are still giving this tripe the time of day.

Jack Thompson vs Michael Atkinson...
Place your bets.
OT: He's just doing it for attention. He's defending his reputation from Atkinson stealing it.
And I'd make a joke about cup stacking if my parents hadn't bought me a set of them for Christmas one year...

At present people still see Mr Atkinson as having credibility, but if you let the other side talk for long enough it will give you all you need to win.
Let the old bastard dig himself a hole.

well Atkinson is in a position with more power? oh dear

now imagine a game where you'd be able to create the enemies you fight, not just the avatar you control
someone would get the t-bagging of his life...

A custom skin in Gmod is your best friend then mate.

He just never gives up...

As bad as it is, I can't help but feel sorry for the guy.

In essence, he's an old, stubborn man with a belief that he feels to feel right down in his heart is the right thing to do. Maybe he shouldn't try to inflict that upon the world, but when he was removed from the legal-system he lost a lot of the means to make a name for himself. Now he's pretty much one of those tramps sitting outside city-centres, waving a card around saying "The end is near!"

Then I remember how funny I find those tramps and then I laugh at Thompson's desperate plea for attention from a situation he threw himself into with more gusto than a herd of truly suicidal lemmings.

Hopefully he just quietens down and focuses on his family and his own life as much as he does other people's.

In case anyone wants to contact senator Yee and inform him that Jack Thompson was disbarred for among other things filing gay pornography in his legal briefs. I plan on emailing him a link to Thompsons wiki-quotes page at some point to day.

But Kotick identified himself as an addict and stated how he manages his addiction. Surely shouldn't Jack be using this as an example of what gamers should do, not punishing him for it.

 

[Simalacrum]

Huh, gamer's public enemy no.3 using public enemy no.2's words and twisting them around? How odd... I kinda presumed that all the evil people of the gaming industry were sort of collaborating with one another to create some kind of conglomeration of evil...

Believe it or not he defended Mass Effect... he's still batshit crazy and really, really needs to take a good look at himself in the mirror.Also Jack and Atkinson have that one thing in common when trying to prove games lead to violence... lack of evidence, Atkinson can be excused he's a politician but Thompson was a lawyer so he should know better.

Just wondering... if nobody posted his news... would he even matter?. I mean if the escapist here or joystick didn't post what he said then wouldn't he just die off. Like how Freddy needs fear to exist and if you ignore Freddy he dies... well wouldn't the same just happen to him?. Just putting it out there not making a complaint, just thinking aloud.

Perhaps. But it looks like he's still trying to worm his way in with uninformed politicians. That being said it's good to keep an eye on him and keep people informed of his antics. This way anyone who cares enough can contact said politician and inform him or her that Jack Thompson is a batshit insane loon and it would probably be in thier best interets to not associate with him.

Speaking of contacting uninformed politicians.

A desperate attempt for attention from someone who we as the gamers, threw out of power and banished him to the realm of "not allowed to have an opinion". What he says doesn't matter any more.

Just die already Jack, please? I'll give you a cookie

 

[jimduckie]

gee if you are ever wondering what the definition of a schmuck is , just take a look at this thompson moron

 

[Velocirapture07]

Jack Thompson is such a non-entity it's not even funny. This guy is a disgrace to lawyers and professionals everywhere.

Eventually he'll realize how messed up his logic is, and hopefully we'll never hear from him again. Also liked the part about that guy being lost in a jungle....i couldn't agree more.

 

[The Spectator]

... Maybe dear old Jack has some traumatization from when he was young.

I'm betting on Atkinson, seeing as he actually has some power.

 

[Hobo Joe]

This is so stupid - all Kotick was saying was that he had an addictive personality and Thompson misconstrued that massively.

 

[Aptspire]

"I play from time to time, but the nature of my personality is such that if I was regularly playing Modern Warfare 2, I would not be able to stop and it would be at the expense of all my regular responsibilities."
"I would not be able" means that he is talking about his own case, and that other gamers aren't necessarily living the same situation. It was incredibly easy to refute him, but since he came from Rupert Murdoch's disinformation machine, I am really not surprised -_-

 

[Jack and Calumon]

I don't know who to be more angry at, Kotick for being such a big mouthed idiot, or Thompson for being an idiot in general, or Michael atkinson, because he's still alive.

 

[Njaard]

Oh, good old Jack. You can always trust him when it comes to spewing out bullshit.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Ok, how old is Thompson anyway? Last time I really noticed him at all was when he was on TV bashing GTA San Andres or something and that was what, 5 years ago. And even then he looked like he could suffer a stroke in the next 48 hours.
