Jack Thompson #6

[kurisu7885]

Thompson proves time and time again he couldn't give a flip about EA or Incog Inc, as he is going out of his way to get Take Two shut down over things far beyond their control.

And I'm pretty sure Zelnick didn't say that, more like "We have no control over whom sells our games to whom"

And Thompson has never begged for anything, he's always demanding it.

[BlackIce, British Commie]

Yes, exceptionally interesting.

Especially because of this:

http://gamepolitics.com/2008/04/29/scariest-pic-you-will-see-today-or-all-week/

Dated:

From John Bruce's Press Release:

Except that today is Sunday May 11th. And the 20th isn't on Saturday.
And even if he meant the 10th, see prior article, done on April 29th, a school day. Apparently, John Bruce is trying to cover up having, as the neglectful Parent he is, pulled his son out of school just to push his agenda.

Shameful. Just shameful.

Heh. Stupid ****er..

[JDKJ]

Thompson's gotten zero 'Net traction on his latest press release. Zip. Nada. Ningun. Proving the theory that just because to publish a daily announcement saying, in effect, "Look at me!! I'm a raging idiot!!," that's no guarantee anyone will indeed look.

[Pominator]

Yeah, I am kinda getting bored now, half of the fun of playing GTA IV is knowing that it is really going to stick in his craw... so to speak

TRAITOR. Shotgun Blues, Shotgun Blues..

[JDKJ]

Boring? Tell me about it. At least to the people who just tuned in to the Jack Thompson Freak Show, some of his antics are fresh. If, on the other hand, you tuned in from the first season's premier, you've seen his whole -- but very limited --repertoir at least 5 times over again.

[Pominator]

great how he never realises just how owned he actually is though isnt it?

[JDKJ]

@Pominator

If "great" is Yorkie-slang for "mind-boggling" then, that it is.

I was going to ask "what press release?", but that pretty much proves your point.

[JDKJ]

I've a question to which I'd apprecite receiving considered responses:

It appears that Mark Methinitis has agreed to some sort of debate with Jack Thompson (despite voicing previous doubts as to the usefulness of anyone debating Thompson).

Good idea or bad idea?

Does it matter to your reponse that the debate participants are compensated (beyond reasonble expenses incurred)?

Thanks in advance,

JDKJ

I think it would be a waste of time and effort.

Nevertheless, it would still be interesting.

As with the Della Rocca debate suggestion, if it's some place that has suffered a tragedy, then it seems gruesome to take money for the debate. And if they accept the money, it would be a good sign if they (meaning Mark since John Bruce is a bahstard) donated the money back to the school, university, or whatever.

[nightwng2000]

JDKJ,
What did I miss at Jaablog? The Welcome article dropped to one page and starts with John Bruce's threat of suit and demand for insurance info.

[kurisu7885]

So he supposedly sold his share. He actually made money off his crusade. :eek:

[Kincyr]

It is always fun to watch the man stare at the sun and call it night time, apart from intermediate outbursts he seems to have crawled back inside his shell really, is there nothing for us to nitpick about?

Well, he said the stock he supposedly had and just sold was overpriced, so we can safely say he fails at investing too.

It's likely the most he'll ever get out of this crusade though.

It was yesterday or a day before i none of the articles are the EA Take Two attacks.

[Freyar]

Thompson found guilty of 27 of 31 misconduct charges. (GamePolitics (http://www.gamepolitics.com/2008/05/20/jack-thompson-guilty-27-31-misconduct-charges-says-bar-trial-judge-fl-supreme-court-must-))

This wasn't so much a surprise as a sigh of relief.

[Garrett]

So we put a little news event about JT and his charges, and all of the sudden the site goes haywire for 2 days.

Perhaps it's that everyone from 1up, G4, and every other game site that even smells the JT name had a link right to the GP article.

I hear celebrations and gleeful tears of joy, yet, I still don't see how this is going to stop the self appointed crusader from continuing his war on 'VGrugs'. (god I hope that doesn't become a new buzzword)

[kurisu7885]

Even after his bisbarment I won't be surprised if he still paints himself as an attorney, still tries to write bills into law, still tries to file cases, still tries to represent people, still sends out press releases, and still threatens people with lawsuits, as an attorney.

Ironic, the news of Jack's imminent disbarment finally allowed him to destroy GP...if only temporarily.

As Hannah said, the Entire Internet Linked us at once.

[JDKJ]

Jack's like cockroaches. You can't ever be rid of them, either. For those that enjoy watching Jack repeatedly bang his head against a brick wall, there'll be about three years worth of his head-banging in store against the Florida Supreme Court, the Florida Bar, Judge Tuins, and the poor soul at the Dade County courthouse who notarized those Oaths.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water . . . .

[KN]

I read that as Dada Country and believed we had found the perfect home for John Bruce.

[GamePolitics]

No... that site has picked up on JT's propaganda.

His hearing on sanctions remains scheduled for June 4th.

I guess I should write something about this to clarify.

[beemoh]

Gonna drag this one kicking and screaming into the main thread.

[JDKJ]

Might not be a bad idea to shed light on the erroneous belief that Jack's not still dangling on the hook, gently swaying in the breeze, while the buzzards gather overhead. NG4 picked up on the ahrc post (which is obviously little more than propaganda from Jack Thompson and/or Bob Hurt) and ran with it as if it was gospel (or, at least, that's the impression I got).

[Tim Bickley]

That "article" is written in Jack's style, you can go through it and pick out the Jack-isms. It looks like he wrote the article and the author just published it for him.

[Twin-Skies]

Find someone or some organization that supports Jack Thompson. Then start digging around them. But be careful. Sooner or later, you're bound to come up with a shovel-full of reeking ****.

[JoeTom]

SPOnG has news from the Judge Tunis forged signatures malarkey:
http://news.spong.com/article/15468/Jack_Thompsons_Judge_Signature_WAS_Forged

From the man himself:
"In fact, the state attorney did not prosecute because the state of limitations ran on a criminal prosecution. The forger is the notary, Sayed A. Shah.

The issue though as to the illegality of the judge's actions is very much in play. She is not a judge. She panicked and signed a new loyalty oath recently because of this problem, and she did so too late. She will be overturned in all of this."

[JDKJ]

My man's got a point. The forgery thing ain't smelling too good. That being said, there's still always good money to be made by wainting until Jack places his bet and then betting the opposite way. Works 9 out of 10 times.

[kurisu7885]

He's only making such a huge stink over it on the assumption that it'll get him off the hook.

He doesn't realize how many enemies he's made for himself.

[JDKJ]

For what it's worth, the statement in Spong's article by Eunice Sigler, the 11th Circuit's spokesperson, that the "judge’s authority wasn’t in dispute because her power as a judge flows from the oath of office rather than the notarized loyalty oath" is a bit nonresponsive to the issue that Jack Thompson raises. He ain't saying nothing about the oath of office. He's saying everything about the notarized loyalty oath. And, to give him his credit, as he asserted, the notarized loyalty oath was indeed forged. And that does raise some issues as to the Judge's ability to hold office and arguably raises issues (as Jack does) about the validity of her rulings. The relevant statute is clear in requiring that all Florida public office holders, including judges, have to execute the notarized loyalty oath in order to hold office. Judge Tunis, at least for the period of time in which the forged loyalty oath was in play, didn't meet the statutory requirement. That's what's got Jack gleefully hopping up and down on one leg. Not the other oath of office. To not squarely respond to the issue Jack raises, but instead talk about an issue he doesn't raise, doesn't do much to calm the waters that Jack's furiously whipping up to a froth.

[BearDogg-X]

What about the fact Judge Tunis has just been re-elected unopposed for another six-year term? You could argue that she could sign a new loyalty oath when she takes the oath of office for her new term, effectively negating Thompson's argument.

[JDKJ]

For real, that's what you look like? If so, later for a discussion about loyalty oaths. I gots some other issues I wanna raise with you. I'ma hit you up with a private message, a'ight?

[BearDogg-X]

No, that's not what I look like. I just happen to like the actress in my avatar(it's Sophia Bush from the TV show One Tree Hill, in case you were wondering who it was).

[JDKJ]

Heh, heh, heh. You said, "bush." Heh. Heh.

I'm just messing. I figured it wasn't you. She didn't strike me as a LSU or Saints fan. How 'bout dem Hornets? Whereyat?

Any good fai-do-dos happening this Sunday?

[Icehawk]

Shrug. jackie is flinging out as much mud as possible to again daddle and delay, and for some reason none of that mud stuck to Judge Tunis. Then again, and as expected, after jackie had his latest list of BS shot down he even tried to rope in Dennis (the reason eludes me) but again the mud did not stick. jackie is showing more and more that he is a poor excuse for a semi intelligent sub-human, and a spoiled vain one at that.

Maybe he has finally given in and gone the way of senility?

[nightwng2000]

Ya know, I'm getting pretty darn good at killing threads. (Having noticed that DL didn't show up any today.)

You might not wanna blame or credit yourself. If think sometimes he's on his meds. And sometimes he's not. But he's a laugh riot all the time, regardless.

I remember reading that Penny Arcade (I think it was them, it may have been Scott of VG Cats fame) set up an email filter to trash any email Jack sent them and give an automated response and Jack argued with that for a while.

[blackmanta]

He's been unusually quiet these last few days. Usually as the date of whatever trial he's involved in draws closer, the more "chatter" we hear. Maybe it's the calm before the storm?

[nightwng2000]

He's probably still standing in a corner, arms crossed, head down, bottom lip stuck out, and muttering "I won't go! I won't! I won't! I won't!"

[JDKJ]

Is it just me or has Jack, once again, indirectly caused a server crash at GP?

As to the "Judge Tunis (or "Ms. Tunis," as he prefers to call her) leaked court documents to GP" story, did I not predict that as long as his mental health issues remain untreated, he was going to get loonier and loonier with each passing day?

What's Patricia Thompson going to do when he starts sitting before his PC in nothing but his undershorts and carrying on wild and bug-eyed conversations with himself in two separate and distinct voices? Putter around the house like there ain't nothing wrong? Some things just can't be ignored.

I was able to read the article before GP went ker-poof and I was curious about who would be stupid enough to threaten his son, if indeed his claim is true. Of course, we know he lies constantly. And if he is lying this time, then he's, once again, using his family to obtain unearned sympathy.

And while it is stupid for anyone to make threats against him or his son, surely he understands that he knowingly and intentionally placed his son in the public eye, thereby potentionally endangering his son. And, so, if he's telling one of those rare truths, he should realize that it was HIS actions that placed his family in such a position to begin with.

[DarkTetsuya]

It sounds a bit more to me like he's using his son in his crusade again, this time to garner sympathy like he did with his wife.

Like you though, I highly, HIGHLY doubt there's any truth to it at all. And evidently he doesn't care since his son would be of legal age to purchase M rated games by now and he doesn't even see that.

[JDKJ]

I've pointed out to Jack before the imprudnce in taking people like his son and the numerous clerks at Best Buy (whom he identifies by name and the store at which they work) and thrusting them into the limelight as pawns in his foolish schemes. One day that nonsense is going to coming back on him with a vengance. But that's part of his narcissism. He don't care about no one but himself. Not even his own blood. Not enough to keep them out of harm's way (get it?).

And that child has two parents actively involved in parenting him. If the other one wants to sit by idlely and allow Jack to place the boy at risk, then that's their choice. But whatever they get, they get to keep. I ain't feeling sorry for no but the clerks at Best Buy.

With a commentary 'made in Thompson' as a bonus. Talk about delusions of grandeur. Once Tunis does her report for Septembet 3rd, there will be no way for Thompson to make simple explanation about his disbarment.

[TK n Happy Ness]

Why I was wondering about if lawyers had an age for retirement because if the Florida Bar does disbar Jacko for 10 years, and he's currently 56, by the time that 10 years are up, he'd be forced into retirement because nobody would want to hire an even more senile old man, unless they want to lose. Isn't the retirement age in the U.S. 65?

I don't think it's a "wife" that DL is divorcing.
Either DL is a woman pretending to be a man, or...

http://jaablog.jaablaw.com/2007/07/11/media-alert--news-conference.aspx

4:11 PM.

Not a bad thing of course. Though it lends to a great deal of confusion for me, legally regarding the divorce, if DL is male.

But this article also popped up with the Google search:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2248/is_n124_v31/ai_19226135/pg_12

The Google summary appear positive, but it was actually cut off. The actual line is at the very end of the article. I can't prove our DL is the saame DL, but 1 + 1 + 1 = 2.5 for now. Florida, same name, and the other factor which appears to be the case from the above mentioned post. I'm not ready to jump on him as if it were him yet since I can't prove it's the same person. Of course, if it is him, the comment in the article about being "one of the first" had me doing my "overthinking" thing again. :)

Edit: Never mind. Different person.

It's a very enlightening audio clip, Jack, naturally, makes a total ass of himself. The judge was extremely reasonable, much more so than anyone had any right to expect of her.

[theoden1]

As was reported by GP and many other sites Jack claims that actoin will be taken aganist Dava J. Tunis. This morning I got an email from Jack. I've been in debate with him for months about his veiws and the way he goes about trying to change the world. Up until now I have kept them to myself, nothing really but misuse of truths and out right lies, but I felt people (Gamers and others alike) would like to know what Jack says Dava J. Tunis did.

I am placing the E-mail up just as I got it. - Email address and phone numbers. I also sent a few copys to gamer websites that I felt would like to know what Jack had to say:

I and others can provide sworn statements as evidence of the commission of the above crimes by Dava J. Tunis. Thanks so much for you anticipated cooperation on these matters. Failure to proceed in these regards will be a serious act of misconduct by your office.

@nightwng2000:

As far as crazy JAAbloggers go, I actually don't mind DL too much. He's completely stuck in whatever mud his ex-wife laid out for him and says the same thing over and over and over again but, compared to some of the others, he's actually not too bad. Kinda likable, in a drunk uncle way. There's one particular nut, L. Benson, who brought out the worst in me, though. Snarly, that one was. I had to put the Pimp Hand to him.

[kurisu7885]

No one is out to violate his goddamn civil rights. This isn't about his first amendment rights, it's about the fact that he's lied, threatened, and been an asshole to anyone who dares disagree with him.

As for the rest of the charges, ****ing made up.

[KN]

He most certainly has the right to lie, be an asshole and make silly verbal threats to people.

He's just not allowed to use the justice system to do that.

[kurisu7885]

The justice system isn't his megaphone, isn't his ban stick, isn't his soapbox, none of it is his to do with as he likes ash e implies.

[kurisu7885]

And, I know I say this a lot, but, I think it was Mark Twain who said "Get the facts first, then you can distort them as you please." Jack Thompson doesn't even bother with the facts, but he's all too happy to distort them.

[Riktor]

And, I know I say this a lot, but, I think it was Mark Twain who said "Get the facts first, then you can distort them as you please." Jack Thompson doesn't even bother with the facts, but he's all too happy to distort them.

Luckily, the justice system widely regards Thompson as a loud-mouthed chuckle-head attempting to profit from the "culture war". His knowledge of psychology, the Constitution, and federal law is evidenced in the fact every case he has ever brought before a judge has been dismissed.

Of course, this doesn't faze his supporters.

Like other Evangelical Christian "leaders", Thompson preys on the spiritual disposition of a number of Americans and promises them things he knows full-well he cannot deliver. When he takes the good fight to court and loses, he returns to his army of outraged zealots and proclaims the Godless liberal activist commies in the justice system have prevailed again, strengthening the movement's self-imposed feelings of martyrdom, and thus strengthening their resolve.

The video game "issue" is no different than the Ten Commandments in schools "issue", the evolution "issue", the homosexuality "issue", and the abortion "issue". Leaders promise forever and never deliver. When they don't make good on their promises, they blame whoever is a convenient scapegoat, which strengthens their base and keeps them in front of the camera for another four to six years.

Given that the US (which has not legalized gay marriage) has experienced more destructive acts of God (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.) recently than Canada (which has legalized gay marriage), if God has a position on this issue, it probably isn't what the Church wants to hear...

Immediately, he's going to try and have the ruling overturned. And when that doesn't work, he'll spend the next 10 years of his disbarment trying to get the ruling overturned. And, failing that, he'll just lie on his application.

[Icehawk]

What I've been wondering is what JT's gonna do after he gets disbarred.;)

Maybe he could move to Provo Utah (My apoligies to any that post here and live there) as he seems to be their champion. Besides even he should realize that he will not be welcome in Florida, or in most of polite society for that matter. I am worried though what we are going to do for running humor if jackie falls off the face of the map.

[POLE]

I read it.

He killed fax machines and now, he plans to kill e-mail servers? Jeez, he never learned about SPAM laws.

Just be patient. One day (and it'll be probably this year, considering how crazy he got), he'll be smacked down so hard by law that he won't be able to cry "injustice".

(Seriously, cause saying anything at this point isn't even necessary.)

[POLE]

Read it too. Just be patient. With that, Judge Tunis (or another member of the Bar) will have enough ground for a libel suit and not even Thompson will be able to sweep it away with his simplistic (and insulting) excuses.

[Torven]

The kicker on that Kotaku article is that under our Constitution, I believe Tunis would have been required to recommend the two different pleas. Two separate charges were filed for the same action, one by Judge Moore, the other by Blank Rome. Since Tunis found him guilty of Moore's charge, she would have to recommend a not guilty verdict for Blank Rome's, due to Thompson already having been tried for that specific violation (autrefois convict in this case). Either Thompson does not understand the law, or he is hoping that the Supreme Court does not.

[beemoh]

(Seriously, cause saying anything at this point isn't even necessary.)

ah, the Doube Jeopardy clause, right?

[Torven]

Exactly. I guess since Tunis with just making recommendations, she could have recommended guilty for both and let the Supreme Court decide which to convict on, but we all know that if she had done that, he would have been screaming about how the courts were once again violating his civil and constitutional rights.

[Conejo]

well that's not exactly double jeopardy.
you can be tried for killing two separate people, you just can't be tried for killing the same person twice.

[Torven]

well that's not exactly double jeopardy.
you can be tried for killing two separate people, you just can't be tried for killing the same person twice.

In this case, both Judge Moore and Blank Rome filed charges for remarks made against Judge Moore. I believe double jeapardy still applies; the court can only try Thompson for those remarks once (i.e. she is recommending guilty in the first charge and not guilty for the second charge by reason of prior conviction through the first charge).

[Kincyr]

well that's not exactly double jeopardy.
you can be tried for killing two separate people, you just can't be tried for killing the same person twice.
actually, it is. Read below:
Two separate charges were filed for the same action, one by Judge Moore, the other by Blank Rome.
but yeah, you're right on the killing example, because it's two seperate charges for different actions, even if the actions may have been the same method, they were done at different times. IOW, double jeopardy is not implicated for separate offenses or in separate jurisdictions arising from the same act.
There is an exception in the case of being tried for killing the same person twice: one example (taken from Wikipedia) is if a man stood in New York and shot and killed a man standing over the border in Connecticut, both New York and Connecticut could charge the shooter with murder due to the 'separate sovereigns' rule, which allows two states to prosecute for the same criminal act. Double jeopardy attaches only to prosecutions for the same criminal act by the same sovereign.

[Conejo]

ok, i see. from what i read it sounded as if there were two incidents of the same nature, not two complaints about the same incident.

Is it just me or has news of the Referee's Report crashed GP's server?

[Torven]

It wouldn't surprise me. The headline alone is probably going to bring in more hits than when Tunis' preliminary recommendations were released. I mean aside from the usual GP crowd, there are probably people who will come to read because a lifetime disbarrment is so rare, especially for a high-profile figure.

[Icehawk]

I think the news of the suggested Permanent Disbarment (henseforth to be known as permanban) warrents making a new jack thompson thread. As noted jackie is not overly popular with the ECA/GP types so this thread is likely to take many hits trying to verify info and such.

Besides thread #6 has already become an unwieldly beast.

Saw the link posted by an anonymous showing John Bruce's wife's bio.

I know the thing about not bringing family into this, but ya gotta admit when looking at the bio that John Bruce has to be in major denial if he isn't humbled by his wife's MAJOR accomplishments.

Of course, she does have the 200 Club membership, though she is a former member. Well, nobody's perfect, but at least she made up for it by being a FORMER member. :D

I see she's also a Vanderblt graduate, which makes making fun of John Bruce's graduation from there a little wrong now since she is one too and doing far better than him.

I just hope no one uses the email address on the bio to start bothering her. While having the bio to compare her career to John Bruce's is interesting, some twit out there will abuse the info available and email her something stupid.

Allow me to predict the outcome of the Jack Thompson trial.

Judge: Jack Thompson, you are disbarred.
Jack: No, I'm not.
Judge: Uhh, yes you are.
Jack: No, I'm not.
Judge: You just can't say you're not disbarred.
Jack: Yes I can, it's freedom of speech.
Judge: That's still doesn't change the fact you're disbarred.
Jack: Yes it does, if I say I'm not disbarred, then I'm not.
Judge: You're getting on my nerves.
Jack: YOU ALL HEARD IT, HE HAS A VENDETTA AGAINST ME! HIS PERSONAL FEELINGS TOWARDS ME COULD HAVE AFFECTED HIS JUDGEMENT!
Judge: Bailiff, throw him in a nice, padded room.
Jack: YOUR RULING IS NULL AND VOID! NULL AND VOID!!!

While a number of my posts went through ok, two, one yesterday and one today, were sent to moderation. And I can't figure out why. No links, in either, so that isn't it. No copy/paste in the second one, so that couldn't have been it.

I think somebody around here decided on Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Diagnostic criteria for 301.81 Narcissistic Personality Disorder
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
(4) requires excessive admiration
(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

I believe Thompson meets nine out of nine.

[Pominator]

Wouldnt it be great if he had a severe case of SPD and ended up like Charlie Baileygates/Hank Evans from Me, Myself and Irene?

EDIT:

I spoke too soon, here you go (http://hellfish.gtajunkies.com/Jt.html)

[MaskedPixelante]

Oh yes, I remember that. That's the game that was made when he made his Modest Proposal, which turned out to be a big huge lie when he decided to cancel his donation because the game didn't meet his criteria.

Incidentally, when a game came out that was made to be EXACTLY as he specified, he still said he wasn't going to donate because it wasn't want he wanted.

[ezacharyk]

Just to give an example of how he meets all nine of these, here are some of his thoughts and activities:

(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
He is always trumpating his 60 minute interview and his various "successes" in the court room.

(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
He has the courts and bar right where he wants them. Just the thought of being sued by him is enough to get people to reverse their opinions of him.

(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
He is a Christian and therefore all the liberals in the bar and in the gaming media do not appreciate his intentions.

(4) requires excessive admiration
His Freedom award. The fact that he tries to get Dennis to report on everything he does.

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Calls nine times whil Dennis is out of the office and each call gets creepier and more threatening. Does the same to other lawyers. The latter is part of his disbarrment trial.

(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
He is constantly trying to convince juvinile violent offenders to let him use them as part of his quest to destroy Take Two and the video game industry.

(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
He completely ignores the abuse of the violent offenders he seeks to use. He desicrates the memories of the fallen and their families.

(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
What's with Dennis's obsession with him anyway.

(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
Just read everything he has ever written.

[kurisu7885]

And he refuses to get help, of course thansk to his disorder he thinks, no, believes there is nothing wrong with him.

If Lyndon LaRouche did anything stupid we would be all over it like a pack of carrion birds, but he is not active right now and so we don't really need to worry about him, Jack Thompson focuses ALL his efforts on a war that he started and is damn certain he will be able to finish, it's just the sad situation he is in, and like any group of people we try to help him see the error of his ways, and in the spectacular failure we had at that, we are content to merely see him go down in flames.

It's a wonderful world aint it?

I think THIS sums up what will happen to Jack and his ego.

[kurisu7885]

His latest tirade holds true to something about him.

As I remember he has NEVER been asked to represent anyone or help on a case, ever. He always inserts himself into a case where he wouldn't be involved otherwise.

[Mark of Cain]

Wasn't he the only one to give it positive reviews?

I believe so since all the other reviews were from people who had heard him plug it endlessly or found it in a book store bargin bin.

Back in the days of LJ I registered jackisatroll.com and Cecil475 made the gif. We kept a running tally until GP moved to a new site. I put it back up on my current site for old time's sake.

Are you jdecamp?

Damn..those were the days huh? Finding news stories that had hundreds to thousands of replies and realizing he has gotten another account and was back to trolling again. What drama..I'm glad the site is still preserved. I can't wait till next month when the results come in on his trial. I hope he gets it. I don't think it will be over by a long shot, as he might move to another state to practice or he might become even more of a pest.

Hopefully not, but I guess we'll see..

Well, well, well. It's not a surprise whatsoever that John Bruce is trying to affect the Florida Bar Foundation. after all, he wanted to allowed to work for them as a form of community service. Now, he wants to push his bigoted, dishonorable, hatemonger, unethical, guttertrash, religious beliefs on them.

I stopped by the Foundation's website, John Bruce.

I notice some of those helped by the organization are abused children. Knowing your support for children to be abused (as I've pointed out many times in the past), it's not a surprise that you would want support for certain types of abuse victims to be abolished because of your bigoted beliefs.

Since the organization provides better access to justice for those who can't afford it, it is also not a surprise that you oppose the protection of Human and Civil Rights for individuals based on sexuality. The last thing YOU would want is for individuals who are homosexual or bisexual to have options to legal stand against bigots who have abused them in some or all forms.

All one has to do is look at the website under grants and see that there are those organizations that aren't about charity that receive assistance.
It really, really, must irk you to know that SOMEONE believs in "Justice for ALL". Just like your fear of "The Truth, The WHOLE Truth, And Nothing But The Truth".

What a sick, perverted, obscene, abusive, dishonorable, unethical, immoral, morally bankrupt, demon-worshipping, piece of guttertrash you really are.

Andrew

[Kincyr]

ironic that Jack claims to be persecuted for his religious beliefs when he religiously persecutes others.

Sometimes I wonder if the KKK would have better claims of being persecution victims than Jack ever would. I mean after all, by having gamers on his hate-list, he actually hates more people than the Klan does.

@nightwng2000:

I thought I recalled someone else saying that their JAABlog posts were being captured for no good or apparent reason. Same thing happens to me -- although I just keep re-editing the post until it passes capture. And apparently it ain't cuss words that cause the capture. Interesting.

Your a techno-whiz. Any idea why your posts get captured?

Not THAT much of a techno-whiz. And another one zapped:

This one this morning from the Issac Hayes article:


Once again, John Bruce openly admits to being a bigoted piece of guttertrash.

"Radical"? Whatsamatta John Bruce? Your Anti-American terrorist group not getting enough support? Now you have to make even more FALSE AND FRAUDULENT claims? Tell us John Bruce, what Demon-Pretender-To-The-Throne-Of-Heaven do you and those sociopathic, psychopaths at the Key Biscayne Presbyterian Church of Bigotry and Hate worship? It's obviously not a True, Honorable, Ethical, Moral, Intelligent God.

Maybe society needs to stand up to bigots such as yourself who advocate abuse of ALL types against anyone, even children, who don't follow that Demon you worship?

Ah, but you're not alone, John Bruce. No. More guttertrash like you exists. Whether it's the very well known such as Fred Phelps, Eric Rudolph, David Duke, the Racists Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, Osama Bin Lauden, or guttertrash like those who prevented the Anti-Abuse laws, such as the one in NC, from being passed because their Demon-Pretender-To-The-Throne-Of-Heaven advocates and teaches them to abuse anyone, even children.

So, John Bruce, how does it feel to officially be more recognized as am advocate for abuse (verbal, mental, physical, and/or sexual) against others, including children, as any member of NAMBLA is recognized as a child molestor?

"Pro-family"? More like "Pro-Abusers", "Pro=Child Abuser", "Pro-Child Molestor", and "Pro-Bigoted Guttertrash".

Andrew


Obviously, I'm feeling rather ticked off at the bastard.

I'm not sure what's preventing it. I'd say symbols but I don't use hyphens in every post. So I'm not sure.

Maybe John Bruce whimpered to them that any post made to articles which he posted to should be moderated? Well, no doubt he DID something like that, but I doubt it's possible to make work, even if the admins wanted to.

But then, who knows.

[ezacharyk]

I think it may be your many Satanic references. AS that is one constant between the two posts you quoted here.

BUt you are correct in everything you wrote.

[Kincyr]

I just realized something, remember how Jack mocked Kuja105? I just found a bible quote that proves Jack wrong:
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

[nightwng2000]

I think it may be your many Satanic references. AS that is one constant between the two posts you quoted here.

BUt you are correct in everything you wrote.

Except that there have been other posts that I didn't repeat here. They were in response to someone else regarding punishment for John Bruce.

And this one I just successfully posted:


"Now, what you ought to do is immediately dismiss his extortionate, baseless, illegal, and actionable Bar complaint, find out who he is, and disbar him. "

Intelligence is like a box of chocolates, there's usually a nut in every one.

Seriously, FIRST they dismiss his complaint, THEN they find out who he is.

Bigots like you, John Bruce, tend to have a serious lack of intelligent thought.

Andrew

[ezacharyk]

Then I have no idea why your posts would be moderated other than the spam filter they use has not been primed at all and they don't check it ever.

[JDKJ]

@EZK:

What exactly does it mean to "prime" a filter? And if the filter isn't primed, why would that result in inappropriate captures?

Thanks in advance for your response.

[JDKJ]

Arrgh!! The JAABlog filter snatched another one:

"@Sortableturnip:

I think the policy of the Bar is to keep complaints against attorneys confidential until they've done one of the two things they can do with a complaint: (a) find no probable cause to proceed or (b) find probable cause to refer the complaint to the Supreme Court. Kinda makes sense. An attorney shouldn't have yet-to-be-substantiated complaints against them made public. But once either of these outcomes occur, then you should be able to get information from the Bar about the complaint. Brian from Kotaku did so for all of the complaints ever made against Jack, so I assume it ain't an impossibility.

There's actually a possibility that Jack shouldn't even be publicly disclosing the fact there's a pending complaint against him (if that is indeed what he's done) and the identity (or, more accurately, the lack thereof) of the complainant. I think to do so violates the Bar's requirement of those who file complaints and those against whom complaints are filed that they keep the matter confidential until a probable cause determination is made. Don't quote me on this, though."

If someone can explain to me why this'd get captured, I'd appreciate it. 'Cause I ain't seeing it.

[POLE]

Doesn't JAABlog have a contact email address for moderator to avoid problems like this?

[ezacharyk]

@EZK:

Thanks in advance for your response.

A lot of filters need to be trained in order to capture real spam and not red flag real comments. So you have to work for some time telling the spam filter that this post is spam and this one is not.

It gets annoying but it needs to be done. Most spam filters come with a preset algorithm that can be trained beyond what it initially captures.

An improperly trained spam filter will result in real posts being misflagged as spam. Judging by the comments here, Jaablog has a spam filter in place that is being neglected. They set it up but do not follow up on its training.

[JDKJ]

Thanks. Youdaman. Makes perfect sense to me, now.

Kinda like a puppy, huh? With no training, it'll just keep craping on the floor.

I don't know whether or not you thought that off the top of your head, but that is the perfect analogy for this type of thing.

I've been zoning out until he says something REALLY stupid, like "This is the worst kind of discrimination, the kind against ME!"

I'd love to see him get roasted at one of those comedy Central specials. MY bet is he's threaten to sue everyone there

After Jack's last comment on GP, I put in my vote with Dennis asking him to be banned.

If you are going to complain and threaten lawsuits because an idiot with a short temper threatened you with death and then turn around and start threatening death on others for no reason, I find that to be just cause for the ban hammer.

This post (http://www.gamepolitics.com/2008/08/13/thai-official-prosecute-game-makers-copycat-violence#comment-149257) has a good idea as well:
As someone who has never posted on a Thompson related article until now, can someone give me all the necessary info on this idiot's proposal for sentencing posters here to death? I perceive his comment as a threat on my life and wish to report him to his local authorities as such. Thank you.

[Jarmne123]

And Thompson called us 'violent' video game players killers...But then again, it's just one of his threats, though this one was very personal.

[beemoh]

...and I missed it, only finding out now, after deletion. Anyone manage to copy/paste it?

[ezacharyk]

IT is actually only in moderation. I left it there for Dennis to read first hand, though I did copy it for Dennis in his email.

Basically he said that he proposes the death penalty to all people who read GamePolitics.

[Jarmne123]

And the community cried out...Hopefully that comment could be brought in on Jack's trials.

Let's hope so

He's basically proposing the death penalty for supposed thought crimes against him. He thinks he's a VIP or something.

After discussing it with Dennis, Jack's Death threat post will remain available for reading as it is evidence to use against him later when he feels like complaining avout vague threats against him.

Jack has threatened to kill us over something very personal to us, and WE'RE LIKE NAZIS?!

That does not compute, in any sense of reality.

Not EXACTLY. He's proposed someone ELSE execute readers of GP.

Too easy to interpret that one post as a death threat.

HOWEVER... I've already mentally drafted a major letter to the Florida Bar as well as his local authorities. Using examples of prior "violent" attitudes, as well as evidence such as the recent US Marshal situation, PLUS the references to violence in that legal filing, even if he did say "figuratively speaking", PLUS show evidence of a character that is based on both perpetual lies and deceit as well as biogtry and hate, PLUS show that he uses his religious beliefs as a foundation for those acts, it would be very hard for the comment to be merely waved off.

Oh, and add the fact that he is constantly identifying himself as an attorney, which makes him an "officer of the court", even in writing blog posts, that goes against him with the Bar.

And, to top it off, all I'd have to do is point out that while I'm a savvy internet user and know of a great many individuals who have made empty threats online, I have a son and with John Bruce constantly threatening to force others to provide personal information, such as addresses and such, I would be concerned about the safety of my own child because of the aforementioned threats.

There are so many details to provide that one wouldn't even need to embellish even one. Just state the facts as one knows them and the sheer weight of all the evidence will end up damning him, if not leading him to a long stay in a jail cell.

If only I weren't at work. (Hey, it took me 20 minutes of sneaking to just write this post. I need more focus time than that to write a proper letter to authorities.)

Best to wait until after his license is yanked and add to the wall of lawsuits he'll be facing.

I'm willing to bet this is why Take Two hasn't acted, they're letting him damage himself so he'll have no wiggle room when they do act on it. AS it is now he'd claim persecution, or say he didn't do anything wrong.

[ezacharyk]

Dennis said he will be keeping a copy for his records. So it will be around.

I also believe that Dennis keeps a copy of every bit of coresponence that John Bruce sends his way wether by email or post.

I would so love to be able to thumb through that archive for a day.

Not much. Just Jack Thompson acting like an idiot, threatening GamePolitics readers, claiming superiority over every members of the Florida Bar (including Rumpole), complaining "illegal" activities by the Bar, "trying" to work with the Taiwanese authorities, blah blah blah... Nothing new, really.

[nightwng2000]

Yeah, but here the "death penalty" is an actual legal concept. So it's easy to smoke screen his claimed intent. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't think about how easy it is to gather together everything and link them to an overall picture of himself.

I mean, alone the comment is nothing more than troll dung. But put with all his other comments, it paints a pretty interesting picture for showing to authority figures.

How would you Xanth-ify John Bruce? Puns and all.

[nightwng2000]

I figured out the spam filter problem. At least in some cases.

Like Zachary says, it's a training problem.

"assistance" was the word that got my most recent post there moderated. Changing it to "help" put the post through.

It doesn't asterick out the first three letters as some systems do. It sends the post into moderation.

So filtered curse words that show up in regular words send the post to moderation limbo.

Apparently Jack posted ANOTHER petition to keep his job, under the name Dick Cheney.

Is he really that stupid to think that we'd believe he's the real Dick Cheney?

And is he really that stupid to use a fake name after all the "If you don't use your real name, I WILL find you and you WILL suffer" nonsense he was spewing back in the day?

Dick Cheney may have been the last name he used under his anonymous proxy. Try tracing the IP address and if it isn't from Florida, ban it.
