Michael Atkinson Clamps Down on Defamatory Comments (especially if they're directed at him)

[NicolasMarinus]

The worst kind of enemy is he that comes smiling.

Michael Atkinson the the worst kind of enemy to democracy. Because he claims (and most likely believes) to be a crusader defending its values while in reality he is dismantling it and replacing it by a regressive totalitarianism.

Atkinson can burn in hell for all I care...

....

...No, really, he can.

Can robots burn in hell? I guess we'll find out...

I'm surprised he isn't working straight from Satans Desk.

OT: As hURR dURR dERP (or something like that) once side...
"Is there anything left to say but
lol Australia"

You can be fined for saying bad things on the internet?

Just me, or do you think the governments will become really fucking rich these past months?

Just track down each and every 13 year old on Youtube who posts dumb comments, and you're set for life, Mr. Atkinson.

Well, that shouldn't be too difficult. If Anonymous can do that, then Atkinson shouldn't have much of a problem, despite having the mental level of a 13 year old (after all, most of Anonymous are 13 year olds with nothing better to do than troll the internet...).

But yeah, Atkinson's a crook. And he's an idiot, and if he really thinks he can get away with that then next election time he's out of there... (assuming his role is an elected position, since I really have no clue how the Australian democratic process works...).

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Atkinson fucks giraffes and likes his dad to give him the old one-two!

FINE ME NOW, YOU SON OF A *****!

I love the irony in it all

"Hey! I'm not a Crook!" *Takes $20000 from a bankrupted guy*

 

[CINN4M0N]

Yeah, but to his credit, he does have

Spoiler: a winning smile

EDIT: Michael Atkinson, you are a crook and a disgrace to the man-race.

Atkinson is a crook, a hypocrite, a liar, and many other bad things. Also, I demand financial compensation for every time he defamed my character by insulting people who play videogames, which I do. Mr Atkinson's statements (unlike my own) have no factual basis, but I would be wiling to accept a written apology and a retraction of his previous statements (and cash[American]).

 

[A Random Reader]

Damn, that made me see red, how hypocritical do you have to get before you cross the line of knowledgeable Idiocy? And, as said before, Shouldn't saying that you are "willing to resolve the situation with $20,000 as compensation" plus public apology, be blackmail?

 

[NotAPie]

Atkinson can't git' it up for his wife!
He's also a big dumb doodoo head and a crook, a big dumb crook.

 

[T3h Camp3r T3rr0r1st]

enff

that's really all I can say

and

What is his reasoning for no R18+ rating? honestly what are his points for it, I honestly can't see a problem with it, this way less games that are currently MA15+ that SHOULD be R18+ are given out to small children like a wowwypop after a doctor's appointment

 

[Ragsnstitches]

The man is a tyrant of the lowest echelons. What a piece of work he is.

 

[Magnalian]

Looks like things will be getting pretty interesting in Australia now...

Oh, and Atkinson is a crook.

 

[Ocelano]

Everyone, call him a crook, now! He can't fine all of us and it can only harm his public image.

Atkinson is a crook! And a poopy head. And he likes to wear ladies underpants.

On 2 March 2010, a post appeared on escapist which referred to Attorney-General Michael Atkinson as a "crook" "a poopy head" and a wearer of ladies underwear. Once it was drawn to our attention, we removed it immediately.

escapist accepts that such a suggestion is unfounded and unreservedly apologises to Mr Atkinson for the post.

Im sorry please don't ban me couldn't resist

that said could he cause similar issues for an american website like the escapist or only the australian posters? a little fuzzy on international law in this respect.

 

[Treblaine]

Michael Atkinson is a crook.

Show your support for freedom and democracy by signing every post with "Atkinson = crook" or words to that effect.

 

[Phantomess]

I swear this man displays the absolute highest level of depravity most of the time. Not only is he quite happy to tag us all with very nasty and hurtful adjectives, he cannot take his own medicine and be branded a crook. Mr. Atkinson, if you happen to read this, you make me very happy to be a Queenslander. Even if my premier is a back-stabbing, lying and sneaky woman, she's a thousand times more honorable than YOU, sir.

 

[smudgey]

Can't wait for March 20. Atkinson suing a bankrupt man because of his opinion is ridiculous.

 

[CINN4M0N]

Okay, quick question..

Now nobody get angry at me alright, this is an honest question because I haven't been following Michael all that closely and I'm a little confused.

It is my understanding that Michael Atkinson is against an R18 rating in Australia, is this correct? Because for someone who hates video games and the idea of children playing them, this sounds a little counter-productive.
