Jack:

I have a simple question for you. The due process that you are providing as evidence purports to people who are making the BAR aware of a lawyer who may be acting whilst mentally incapable of doing so.

How is this relevent to the BAR already being aware of this possibility and acting on their own behalf? Are you really suggesting that the BAR would have to complain to ITSELF in writing before it could act?

To have a process this that would, in my opinion, be 'insanity'.

...not that I wish to throw fuel on the fires of poor Jack's eroding mental state, but... wasn't he banned from this site? Does GP need to update its IP blocker, or what?

@Mr. Thompson,

In all honesty and sincerity, sir, I would fully recommend that you look into the possibility of professional psychiatric help for yourself. You are not well, sir, a fact that is becoming increasingly apparent from your 'press releases' and legal filings. I think that if you take a few steps back and look at your comments with a clear head, you'll realize that you've lost all sense of professionalism; indeed, your filings of late would be more appropriate as LiveJournal comments than as legal documents. I'm certain you do not truly believe you can convince anyone that you are in the right with the hyperbole and paranoid imaginings you insist on writing.

Get help, sir. We, the gaming community, have never minded honest disagreement, but what you've been doing doesn't help anyone.

@jt

1... "It is akin to choosing between castration by knife or castration by chemical." -your imagination is more violent than what's in Manhunt .

2... "The Bar has allowed its rage, its ideological agenda, and its selective prosecution propensities ... to trump not only the civil rights laws of this country but common sense as well." That is a description of your own tactics against Take-Two.

3... "God is nothing if He is not clever, and make no mistake, Thompson believes God is in the mix in all of this. Thompson, as a Presbyterian, believes and in fact knows that God is in the mix of everything. Call Thompson crazy, but omnipresence and omniscience are pretty mainstream theological concepts." You're in the practice of law, not theology. Your duty is to treat the letter of the law as sacred, not "the word of God" or what's in the bible or whatever you get your Presbyterian stuff from.

4... Your efforts to block the publication of video games have gone against the protections of the first ammendment of the Constitution.

In addition to protection of the "freedom of speech," the first ammendment also protects the "free exercise of religion." By inserting your religious views into your litigation practices and statements, you are ignoring the basic separation of church and state "stuff" in the constitution.

Jacks so eager to prove hes not crazy that he seems to forget you can still be disbarred for many other reasons. This whole insanity angle is just one of many front on which your credibility is in question. Even if you find a way to get around it you cant do much about the rest of the reasons your looking at disbarment.

Even then, the level of paranoia you exhibit is pretty clear sign of metal disorder. If the entire industry and gamers and drug cartels and whatever the hell else you have named your attacker to be were actualy trying to crush you, youd been crushed a long time ago.Most the industry just wants you off their backs and most gamers couldnt give a crap what happens to you as long as you never actualy succeed in any of your crazy schemes, all of which have fallen flat under the weight of your own inadequecy as a lawyer and a person.

'It can admit its mistakes (only crazy people don’t admit their mistakes),'

You mean mistakes like accusing a Bar member of extortion by invoking the wrong Rule? You mean that kind of mistake Jack? Or do you mean mistakes like accusing the VTech killer of being a Gamer before he had even been named?

Maybe you meant the plethora of 'mistakes' you made in your interview with Popzart.....

@ Jack Thompson Attorney

"The Bar has a choice. It can admit its mistakes (only crazy people don’t admit their mistakes), and get this all behind all of us, or The Bar can live with the rather frightening consequences of what it has done, to Thompson now for the second time."

I guess that makes you off the charts for sanity.


I think that if the courts are deciding to continue with their, as you basiclly described it as, pointless & self-mutilating case, then they probably know exactly what they are getting into. Granted reasonable people make mistakes, I'm sure after the numerous complaints made because of you, the inappropriate and unethical treatment you give others (including judges and other staff), & the childish backlash you give to people who make any comments towards you that you find offensive.

Why won't you humor us and just take the evaluation?

@JACK THOMPSON, IMPOTENT ATTORNEY
if you truly are sane (yeah right) then you have nothing to fear from the psych test.
your cowardice proves your insanity.

P.S. calling us children and then asking for our names are the actions of a child molester

???...Ace beats Jack?

He'a like a squid, the minute he's afraid he hides behind a cloud of ink.

@JACK THOMPSON, ATTORNEY:

Why do you continue to waste your time by filing writs of mandamus and numerous supplements thereto? Don't you understand what the Court said its 07/13/2007 Order denying you petition for mandamus? The Court literally said:

"To the extent the Respondent seeks mandamus relief, the petition for writ of mandamus and supplements are denied because respondent has an adequate alternative legal remedy by way of a petition for review after the referee issues her report."

You do know what this means, don't you? Hmmm, maybe not. Lemme help you. It means that you've no basis whatsoever for a grant of mandamus, at least not until you've exhausted your right to petition for review after Judge Tunis issues her report--which, hopefully, recommends your disbarment. Let me try to put this in a form even you can understand: Right now, them mandamus planes just a'int gonna fly. You may want to rethink your strategy.

Or is it is that you think there's some strategic advantage to blowing smoke up the Court's ass?

Either way, good luck.

Wow, that was jumping all over the place. Also, still very unprofessionally written.

Laddy Jack: "(only crazy people don’t admit their mistakes)"

Ha...haha...hahahaha...it's pretty much "Insert your own joke here" at this point, folks.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA





John B. Thompson,



Plaintiff,



v. CASE NUMBERS SC06-2032, SCO7-80, SC07-354



The Florida Bar,



Defendant.



VERIFIED SUPPLEMENT TO PLAINTIFF’S PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS



[WARNING: THIS PLEADING HAS BEEN PREPARED AND SUBMITTED

BY A LAWYER THAT THE FLORIDA BAR ALLEGES IS INSANE]



COMES NOW plaintiff, John B. Thompson (hereinafter Thompson), and hereby supplements his petition for writ of mandamus, stating:

1. As a Briton would say, The Bar has made a hash of its pursuit of Jack Thompson. With what is alleged under oath herein, that assertion is not even debatable.

2. With Rules-breaking, unethical staff counsel, with an ideologically compromised and federal government-targeted designated reviewer in Ben Kuehne who was the last person on the Board of Governors who could assure the “fairness” of proceedings against his ideological opposite, with an immediate past president, Hank Coxe, who claimed before seven witness that Thompson should be suspended for mere “vitriol,” with a Board of Governors that is presently doling out money to the ACLU to assist minor girls to circumvent Florida’s parental notification of abortion law, Florida Statute 390.01115, and with a Bar referee, Dava Tunis, who has allowed no discovery and denied the most basic due process in her courtroom, The Florida Bar has now made a fatal error that this court should seek to remedy. The Bar has allowed its rage, its ideological agenda, and its selective prosecution propensities identified by Bar President Miles McGrane’s poll of Florida Bar members to trump not only the civil rights laws of this country but common sense as well. Plaintiff has no earthly idea whether anyone is reading this stuff at the Supreme Court, but somebody ought to read this filing, for herein may be found a means of resolving this mess.

2. As the court should know, a mediation of this imbroglio was requested by Thompson for years. A “mediation” finally occurred, but it was attended only by The Bar’s staff counsel, Sheila Tuma, in violation of the core concept of mediation—that a representative for the parties must attend, each with full authority to negotiate and settle. Going into the mediation, held in the Miami Bar offices, Sheila Tuma assured plaintiff and his lawyer in writing that she had “full authority” to do just that. That was a falsehood, to be kind. As proof of the falsehood, Ms. Tuma literally had to suspend the mediation to give Thompson’s counteroffer to her Director of Lawyer Regulation, Ken Marvin, and the new leftwing ideologue chosen to be Thompson’s designated reviewer, Steven Chaykin. Chaykin of course is so ideologically driven that he was rebuffed by even the Board of Governors. So now Mr. Chaykin is in charge of “fairness” for Thompson.

3. Be that as it may, at the faux mediation, as this court already knows (hang in there, the other shoe will be dropping, infra), Ms. Tuma offered the following “deal”: Thompson would have to submit to a 91-day suspension, plead guilty to everything, and accept a forced psychiatric evaluation by the Florida Lawyers Assistant program. This was not to be an assessment for anger management counseling. The purpose of the assessment was and is to find that Thompson is incompetent.

4. This was quite a Hobson’s choice, and it constitutes extortion, which is why the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office is presently looking, after meeting with Thompson, with proceeding further with a criminal investigation, possibly to be pursued by a special prosecutor requested of the Governor, just as Thompson successfully persuaded the Broward State Attorney recently to seek and secure a special prosecutor to investigate allegedly corrupt judges in Broward. Thompson was happy to help.

5. This Bar, that this court is supposed to supervise now, not just when it has destroyed what is left of a lawyer’s career, thus confronted Thompson with an impossible choice and a nonsensical one, by demanding: While you are probably impaired and incompetent, consent with a consensual capacity you do not have to a 91-day suspension, plead guilty to things for which you may not be responsible by virtue of your alleged incapacity, OR we will have you permanently disbarred.

6. Let’s see now, Thompson is to choose between the second attempt by this Bar, with this court’s participation, in a public humiliation of him with lunacy tests, as it did before, to distrous results for this court and The Bar over a decade ago, or Thompson is to go forward with a trial, during which he is allegedly mentally incapacitated, and endure certain disbarment. That is what happens at Bar trials in which the referee has denied all defenses by denying all discovery. Thompson was born at night but not last night. Remember too that this is a referee who called Thompson’s defense “propaganda” and who denied Thompson a continuance while his wife was enduring chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. One would expect a jurist who is a mother with minor children to appreciate such a burden, but it would appear that the agenda to which she has signed on trumps even parenthood.

7. Yesterday the allegedly insane lawyer made a phone call. He called The Bar’s Ethics Hotline at 800-235-8619. The number is conveniently listed on page 2 of the most recent The Florida Bar News which has denied publication of Thompson’s paid ad about this mess and which also reports new Bar President Frank Angones’ unintentionally funny calls upon our profession to “raise the integrity and esteem of our profession” while he knowingly participates in his Bar’s efforts to pathologize a Christian lawyer’s pro bono conservative activism.

8. Thompson had a question for the Ethics Hotline folks, and it was this: How does a lawyer concerned about the mental health of another lawyer get The Bar to deal with the alleged problem?

9. God is nothing if He is not clever, and make no mistake, Thompson believes God is in the mix in all of this. Thompson, as a Presbyterian, believes and in fact knows that God is in the mix of everything. Call Thompson crazy, but omnipresence and omniscience are pretty mainstream theological concepts. Guess who Thompson, whose identity was not know, was given on the phone? Why, it was Kenneth Marvin, Director of Lawyer Regulation for The Florida Bar. Thompson felt honored. He was dealing with the head guy himself. Mr. Marvin was courteous. He was patient. And because he was not lawyered up, he winsomely committed the truth.

10. Under oath, Thompson now states that Mr. Marvin said, categorically, that the Rule that must be first followed is Bar Rule 3-7.13. We read it, on-line, together. Mr. Marvin was clear and the Rule is clear. If a lawyer or anyone thinks that a lawyer may be laboring under a mental defect or illness, then the concerned person must submit a sworn Bar complaint to the appropriate Bar office alleging with specificity precisely what the lawyer has done that gives rise to these concerns.

11. The Bar then forwards the specific complaint to the target, to use a term with with Bar Governor Ben Kuehne is painfully aware, and thereby disclose to him the identity of the complainant and what the nature of specific complaint is. The staff counsel then investigate and process the complaint, taking into account the rejoinder of the respondent to specific mental health allegations. The complaint is a real “complaint,” in that it must constitute a separate, stand-alone complaint case, with a real Bar case file number and everything else that is attendant to a complaint for misconduct.

12. To proceed to the point of actually requesting that anexamination be done, the Bar staff must first go to a real grievance committee (they actually have real numbers and are compromised of real people), and the committee is to make a probable cause determination. Mr. Marvin helpfully offered that the wise course is to ask the allegedly deranged lawyer to appear before the actual grievance committee so that it can assess him, with their own eyes and ears, to see if he or she is in fact bonkers.

This latter procedure is a great idea, as all lawyers should know that the right of an accused to confront his accusers is a pretty basic due process concept. In fact, its in the bloody Constitution. The concept is, oh, five hundred years old, if not older.

13. Then and only then, Mr. Marvin helpfully explained, does Rule 3-5.2 kick in, if the lawyer, about whom probable cause has been found that he is the second coming of Charles Hinkley. The Bar officials designated in that Rule execute affidavits relying upon the first affidavit and upon the layered protection of the grievance committee findings and petition the Supreme Court for a temporary suspension pending examination by a health care provider chosen by the Florida Lawyers Assistance program. These are not Thompson’s words, they are Mr. Marvin committing the truth because he did not know with whom he was speaking. For Biblical endorsement of this approach, please refer to the numerous Scriptural endorsement of the use of secrecy to discover the truth. It is the basic concept behind all police undercover work, surveillance, and the like. And it works.

14. Mr. Marvin concluded this phone call which occurred between 2:15 and 2:224 pm yesterday, July 26, 2007, by noting that this is the only way this process can work, that it is used to protect the accusers and the accused, and that it cannot be done any other way. Fascinating. Damning.

15. Consider how The Bar, for its various reasons and agendas, has “done it” to Thompson: There is no sworn complaint. There is no bar file complaint. No bar complaint file number. There has been no specificity as to what Thompson has done that suggests to a complainant or even to The Bar, if it chooses to be the complainant, that he is mentally ill. There has thus been no disclosure to Thompson what his acts are and what his presumed illness is. There has been no grievance committee consulted. There have been no grievance committee proceedings. There has thus been no grievance committee before whom Thompson has been called. There has been no probable cause finding. There has been no submission of the matter, then, to the officers identified in Rule 3-5.2. There has, in sum, been no adherence whatsoever by The Bar as to the clear procedures set forth in its own Rules in this regard and as helpfully, patiently, and clearly explained by Mr. Marvin. In short, The Bar has broken all the rules in order to break Jack Thompson.

16. The fact that it is Mr. Marvin, of all people, who has both explained how it is to be done and who has also superintended the Rules- and law-violating extortion of Jack Thompson is stunning beyond belief. But it is true. And it is consequential.

17. Why is it consequential? Because when it came right down to crunch time, when this mess could have been settled with any rational person considering what Thompson was willing to do to settle all this stuff, as indicated by his willingness to pay for the mediation himself and to negotiate a settlement, The Bar had their Ms. Tuma, the career Bar prosecutor from Illinois who has never done anything else as a lawyer but that, waltz into the room and play the lunacy card yet again, out of the blue.

18. The Bar does not want this resolved. The Bar wants to extort Thompson. It’s choice is no choice. It is akin to choosing between castration by knife or castration by chemical. Yet The Bar itself does not have what in Miami is called the cojones to do this by the Rules, to do it according to its own laws. They are welcome to try.

19. The reason The Bar is not willing, it seems, to do it by the Rules, as elucidated by Mr. Marvin is that it knows Thompson is not nuts. It knows. Thompson sat there in the flashy offices of Greenberg Traurig in Tallahassee on March 15, 2006, with Harkness, Hill, Bookman, and Coxe, the self-styled Guardians of Democracy, and they either saw that Thompson was a loon or were unnerved by their observations that he was not. If it was the former, why did they not act? They have not acted. Instead, in the purest act of bad faith imaginable, they send a woman to do what these men, these alleged men, are afraid to do. They sent Sheila Tuma into a mediation, authorized by Ken Marvin and Steven Chaykin to do it, to demand that he get on The Bar’s psych couch and let these unnamed latter day gulagists do their analyses. Either that or be disbarred.

If Thompson is crazy, he’s not that crazy.

20. The Bar has a choice. It can admit its mistakes (only crazy people don’t admit their mistakes), and get this all behind all of us, or The Bar can live with the rather frightening consequences of what it has done, to Thompson now for the second time.

21. This is important stuff, and it affects, with all due respect, the future of this Bar and of this High Court.

22. Powerful people, as the world defines power, invariably forget the heel of Achilles. The vulnerability of this Bar is in thinking that because they make the Rules, they are above them. Lord Acton nailed the problem as well. Every school kid knows the aphorism that the Hank Coxes and the Frank Angoneses have managed, in their self importance, to forget.

WHEREFORE, Thompson demands, by granting this petition for writ of mandamus, that this court review what this Bar has done to Thompson, and in doing so, has done to itself. In The Bar’s illegal, Rules-breaking, extortionate attempt to pathologize Thompson’s faith and activism, it has fashioned a noose for itself. Thompson does not really desire to cinch that noose, but he shall if he must.

I HEREBY SWEAR AND AFFIRM, AS IF UNDER OATH AND UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, THAT THE FOREGOING FACTS ARE TRUE, COMPLETE, AND CORRECT, SO HELP ME (CAN I SAY THIS?) UNDER GOD.

I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing has been provided this July 27, 2007, to John Harkness, Executive Director of The Florida Bar, to Circuit Court Judge Dava J. Tunis, to Bar staff counsel Sheila Tuma, and to Kenneth Marvin, Director of Lawyer Regulation for The Bar.

I understood that - I was trying to poke holes in his current re-direction, point being that even his attempts to mislead have glaring errors.

@GoodRobot

Heh, i'm not too upset at the comments of Jackie Boy. I actually now feel honored to be insulted by the most hated man in video game culture. Sure, I wasn't really that happy to be called a knucklehead by Jack Thompson based on my clueless knowledge of law, but whatver. I can now brag that I was personally smack-talked by him to my freinds.

Maybe he just need to meet his gamer-bash quota for the week. :)

Thanks for your support, Robot.

"also, “is this a great country or what?” is’nt really appropriate from someone who practices law."


Well I don't really see any problem with a lawyer saying that. What I do take issue with is that Jack attempts to undermine the freedoms that makes the US what it is, but then revels in those same rights when they work in his favor.

@monte'

Thompson is not a Christian. The man actually does know and exploit the bible, but Thompson is a man of hate and contempt, quite contrary to anything the bible teaches. I don't believe he's honestly so blind to believe that his methods are actually God's will. Christ is a teacher of love and forgiveness, specifically the love of ones enemies. Yes, there are rules and guidelines in the bible that people are supposed to follow, and not all of the teachings are positive and humanitarian in nature, but what is crystal clear is the way people are supposed to treat their fellow man. Jack Thompson knows what is in the bible, but he neglects it. Thus, he is either a true idiot who believes he is personally above the words of the bible, or he is deliberately exploiting a religion he does not believe in, in order to further his career and hate agenda. My money is on the latter.

@jt

Why not take the psyc exam if you have nothing to hide?

The whole "He didn’t know who I was, I sure as heck know who he is." scenario sounds like calssic SOCIOPATHY, the very issue that your using as a basis for your "crusade" against Take-Two and Rockstar.

ps

stop acting like you're personal friends with "the Lord Jesus Christ"... also, "is this a great country or what?" is'nt really appropriate from someone who practices law.

@JACK THOMPSON
They want you to undergo the evaluation because they see how insane you are, and you are making the Florida Bar look bad to the rest of the country.

Dear Jack Thompson,
I haven't heard of any other lawyer speaking in the third person, but I guess I don't know many good ones. Just a few Judges and DAs, thats all.
I think the problem here, dear Jacky, is that you tied your psyche to your ego and inflated your ego. Now that the whole civilized world is deflating your ego, it would appear that your psyche is crushed, leaving you with less mental stability than you had in the beginning (and let us be brutally honest, you had very little). Let's face it, people just don't buy your particular brand of bullshit anymore.
I know, you'll probably go on a tangent somewhere calling us 'potheads' and 'knuckleheads' and the like, but let me explain something. I'm in college, going for a Crim/Soc degree. Once I go back, I'm going straight back to the recruiters' desk and sigining up for the infantry.
I know, this may seem like something a bloodthirsty videogamer would do. But then again, its something that sane and intelligent men have done for 250 years and more in America.
So go masquerade as something important while you still can, because the judge is gonna rip the mask of your face, God willing.

"Change republican with democrat and you’ll have it right, since all the time something anti-video game seems to be the democratic thing, not to mention Thompson said he supports Hillary."

Which would be true, were he referring to video game legislation. But he was referring to the Patriot act and Wire tapping, where the republicans tried to convince us that we shouldn't mind giving up freedom of privacy if we don't have anything private to hide.

So it was correct the first time around.

Thompson seems to be alleging that the complaints against him are related to his mental health. They are not. I believe the Florida Bar is simply trying to ascertain whether or not he is crazy. If he were (and I do not believe he is) then perhaps they could attribute his behaviour to his mental illness.

The upcoming disciplinary action has nothing to do with Mr. Thompson's mental state. It has to do with his inability to follow Bar rules and practice law according to set guidelines and the orders of Judges. You only need to read the Bar complaint documents to find out all of the rules he has broken.

Mr. Thompson's predicament has nothing to do with him being crazy. It has everything to do with him being a rude, abusive, dishonest individual. It has everything to do with him trying to use the law as a sledgehammer to get his way ("disagree with me and I'll sue you! Say anything bad about me and I'll sue you!"). It has everything to do with his conduct in multiple courts of law which have led to the Judges involved complaining about him. (his behaviour was like a disciplined child screaming that the parent who spanked him was a doody-head).

Long story short: he is NOT crazy. He IS woefully unprofessional and cannot follow the rules of his profession. As such, he should and if there is any justice in the world, will be disbarred.

It seems that Jacko seems to have some problem with if then statements. As you can see from my name I'm no lawyer, but the rule he is citing says IF someone claims that a person is mentally ill, THEN these procedures must happen. Unless there are some other rules that Jacko isn't citing there is nothing to tell us what the procedure is if no one has claimed that a person is mentally ill.

As an example the statement "If it is a pig, then it has four legs" does not mean that "if it has four legs, then it is a pig." Just because they are asking Jacko to undergo mental evaluation doesn't mean that some other person has suggested it and so those rules don't apply.

It is interesting that someone seems keep making faulty arguments when that person's job is at least in part about forming an argument.

This idiot still can't stay away from GamePolitics...how pathetic.

Hey, if you call the number he gave us yesterday, he leaves his cell phone number on the message! This should be fun...

@JACK THOMPSON, ATTORNEY

I'm pagan Thompson, I guess I'm an exception to your prayer.

Go argue with the /b/tards, they might actually agree with you.

Yet again we see another pointless and trivial tirade from a supposedly grown man claiming to be our intelectual better.

Mr. Thompson your callous disregard for your fellow man and your insufferable egomaniacal pandering is both tiresome and vexing. Your attempts to talk down to us and label us with vindictive and libelous attacks only go to show your own immaturity.

Further your anger filled diatribes only prove your pathetic lack of mental ability.

Also kindly stop using the religion of my faith as your excuse to pursue your own personal aggrandizing. Christ never said to be mean to others, actually quite the opposite. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you I believe is the correct phrasing of the verse.

Dennis I commed you on your continued efforts to keep us, the consumers, aware of what's going on in the gaming world in the political and societal fronts.

@sidewinder

this is beyond abusrd i often wonder if he know why hes going before the bar on the 4th!!!!!

"Well, proof today as to the hurtful nature of that baseless aside by the court is to be found at a particular video game industry web site,"

Well, Jack Thompson would know all about baseless claims, both the hurtful and the absurd kind.

Hmmm... what was that line about 'stupid enemies' again?

is it too much to ask a lawyer to understand the law??!!

if anyone needs me ill be once again in the corner crying

but he cant cause they are attempting to disbar him he has to know that he cant do this lol

Bravo jack. Your letter boils down to: "You dishonest assholes can't throw me out because I've never called you names!' I must admit that I expected better from a man of your alleged education. It's really quite disgusting that I know 15-year-olds that have better manners, grammar, and intelligence than you.

The Bar, quite simply then, Mr. Richard, has broken every single rule about how this is to be done when it comes to the undersigned’s alleged mental defect.

I'm not sure that's true. Perhaps it is true if it's a single lawyer issuing a complaint/concern about another, but it IS quite possible that there are different alternatives when the Bar itself questions the sanity of one of its members. It's little different from how a police officer has different powers than an ordinary citizen.

I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that this COULD be the case. I'm just throwing that out there.

"Further, you need to understand that this is the most outrageous of all of the illegal stunts The Bar has pulled at the expense of my constitutional rights, and I intend to secure a remedy for it and for all the other stunts, particularly in light of the fact that you jerks pulled this lunacy nonsense over a decade ago and got burned by it."

1) Obviously a law student, not an english major, as that's one hell of a run-on sentence...

2) I've read my constitution, and I don't see anything to the effect of "Congress shall make no law infringing upon the right of the people to practice law." Now, if you're referring to the pursuit of happiness, and if you sincerely derive your personal happiness from your job, then you, sir, have my pity, as there is so many other things from which a person can derive happiness.

3) "What it gives a damn about is getting Jack Thompson at any cost..." 3rd person may be proper in legal pleadings, but in the same document, you say "You hate me that much." So either you are indeed a little off your rocker, or you're breaking protocol for legal documents. On that same note:

4) "give a damn" and "this crap" aren't exactly good form in a legal document. Comments like that, made in a courtroom would be liable to get you sanctioned.

Jack, if you can't be professional, you SHOULD be disbarred. You might try making a show of good faith by NOT acting like a child.

You kncklehead...

Is Jack speaking in 3rd person or is it just me? o_O

Legal documents are most typically written in the third person, as a judge should be able to read the motion or brief any time and know to whom it is referring, without having to translate indefinite pronouns (I, he, she, they, we, etc) into names.

So, though JT is most definitely a complete whack-job, it's not for this reason. :)

well if he eve wrestled in wwe his theme music could be "im an asshole" by dennis leary

sorry for double posting


ok i can understand all that but i mean come on if he is doing all that just to post with a bunch of supposed "children" doesnt that say something about what sanity this guy has left???

@hilaryduffgta

Probably, until he circumvents the IP ban, which he is getting more and more adept at doing as time progresses. Unfortunately, IP bans aren't going to completely work, since odds are, he is using a dynamic address from his ISP -- and if he knows how to get a new IP assigned to him, he's right back. Another technique would be a MAC ban, however most cards & platforms for computers now provide a way to easily spoof a MAC, which is simple enough to do to circumvent MAC bans. GP could ban the whole range of potential IP addresses, but that would mostly just serve as a means to shut out anyone who happens to be living in Miami from being able to see the site. E-mail address bans are relatively ineffectual as well, what with the myriad of free email services that exist.

The problem is, for every lock, there is a key -- a basic concept in any form of security (online or otherwise). All bans/blocks/locks do is keep the honest people out -- if someone really wants to put forth the effort, that person *will* be able to get around it. All that can be done is making it so enough effort is spent getting around it that it renders trying to get around the security as impractical at best. The problem is that Jack has shown that he's so determined to get through the security measures here, that short of locking the GP site to members only mandating invitations... he'll continue trying to get here.

For someone who regularly says gamers need to get lives.... he really has a lot of time and energy devoted on being able to post his insults on this site.

I've made multiple complaints to the Florida bar about him. In every complaint I cited multiple sources of unprofessional and unethical practices, and done so in an extremely professional manner. I never got a response, but I never got a message back to stop sending them complaints. If they got flooded with complaints about JT, there'd at least be more evidence against him.

Here's what we need to do.

1) If you've never sent professional correspondence before, google it. There are even guidelines for e-mails to make them look and sound a lot more professional, which would be all the better for us gamers.

2) Research JT, find any quote or action you can that would be considered unethical or unprofessional, and trust me, you can find A LOT of 'em.

3) e-mail the following people:

Florida Bar Association:

Center for Professionalism:

Carl J. Zahner
czahner@flabar.org

Carolyn Shovlain
cshovlain@flabar.org

Becky Blackburn
rblackbu@flabar.org

Complaints:

John Barr
jbarr@flabar.org

Lawyer Regulation:

Ken Marvin
kmarvin@flabar.org

Remember, keep the e-mail as professional as possible, if you turn it into any form of attack or tirade, they'll just toss it out. If they get enough e-mails, they'll have to do something to shut us all up.

Jack Thompson, is that really an appropriate attitude for a mature adult? Particularly one who claims to be in the field of law. I can expect to see some childish posts on here because, well, some of GP's readers are likely children. I would expect better from you though.

Think on it.

He's trying to get off on 'improper procedure' now, basically the same as having to let someone who's been caught red-handed go because the officer forgot to read him his rights, only somehow he's pulled the word 'extortion' out of it.

I suspect it IS just a word game on Jacks' part, he's spoken to the guy on the phone, who's given him a brief rundown of the procedure, and now Jack's trying to use that description as evidence that the correct procedures weren't followed at the Bar.

I'd personally suspect, by now, that the Bar is more than aware of how slimy JT is and have dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's. They know how Jack tried to run for judge to stop the Bully complaint from going ahead, so they know how he likes to try and use the law as an excuse to avoid responsiblity.

Thanks for the support. :)

I'd just like to add that Dennis might seriously want to consider legal action, as it's pretty clear that Thompson's statements in the PopZart interview were defamatory.

Also while I know I'm being premature, I would have to wonder what JT would do next after he's disbarred? He certainly wouldn't be able to do TV appearances anymore, as he could no longer claim to be a professional on anything. Also he could no longer use his position to use the law as a blunt instrument.

I see him perhaps becoming more active in his church - perhaps deciding to become a minister or something. That way he could still be a public figure and continue his crusade; just look at Rev. Al Sharpton and all the hell he's raised as an example. However, the fact that he was disbarred for his conduct would still taint him.

Of course, the next question would be who would take his place? Some have dreaded that we would get a guy who would be smarter, but really I don't see anyone coming close to filling Jack's shoes that would be as formidable. Jack's primary tool is the media. He loves the spotlight, but most anti-gamers haven't pursued it as actively as he does.

David Grossman may decide to resurface after Jack's gone (he's actually the one who coined the term "murder simulators" after all), but he doesn't seem to be as actively sought out by the MSM as he once was in the wake of Paducah and Columbien and much of what he has said can be discredited.

David Walsh might, but I can't recall the a time when he was on TV interview. Nor do I recall him being that much of a publicity whore.

After the California bill, Leland Yee has been largely silent. In fact I can't recall seeing his name attatched to any stories here in the past year.

In any case, any of these men would be an improvement over JT. At least they're reasonable men. And while at times it may be like talking to a brick wall, they've shown themselves capable of carrying on a civil discussion, showing more respect for gamers, and willing to engage in a cosntructive dialogue than Thompson has. Overall, good for the debate.

Jack, babe, you know we love you, but that doesn't mean we want to see every single letter you send out. As a Canadian with no training in law, I find such gibberish nigh incomprehensible.

If you MUST entertain us with your personal or business correspondence, I believe I speak for all of us when I request that you post only the juiciest and most vitriolic insults. They have the widest appeal and do not require any prior knowledge or understanding of "Florida Bar Rule 3-7.13."

september 4th? Fun my birthday.

Im hoping for a ersly conclusion to this story about Jack becaus where this is going aint looking pretty for our main character.

Jack's letter is gibberish to me. I need a law expert to translate that.

And Jack, that's quite... an unique prayer you have there, never mind how secularly focused it is.

Dear Keaton:

You speak in the third person in a legal pleading, you knucklehead.

Hey, Dennis thanks for helping me. The below is being filed with Judge Huck with the hour. Is this a great country or what? My prayer, to the Lord Jesus Christ is not "Send me more friends," but rather, "Lord, please send me more stupid enemies." Dennis, in you prayer is continually answered:

Re: Florida Bar Rule 3-7.13 and Rule 3-5.2

Dear Mr. Richard:

I should very much like you to pay close attention to the content of this letter, because herein may lie the future of both The Florida Bar and me in our dealings, one with the other.

I called The Florida Bar Ethics Hotline today at 2:15 pm, and this anonymous call by me was given to, of all people, Kenneth Marvin, Director of Lawyer Regulation. He didn’t know who I was, I sure as heck know who he is.

I told Mr. Marvin that I know a lawyer, who is a friend who appears to be mentally ill and that I was concerned about whether his apparent illness posed a danger to his clients and others. Mr. Marvin, very thoroughly and politely, directed me to Florida Bar Rule 3-7.13. We read it over together.

Mr. Marvin explained that if a lawyer appears to be suffering from a mental illness, then the procedure is this: The observing lawyer must execute a sworn statement and send it to the local Bar office just as one would a Bar complaint based upon alleged unethical conduct. If the staff felt that there was a basis for the concern, it then would process the complaint and ultimately send it to a grievance committee.

The sworn complaint, Mr. Marvin stressed very clearly, must be provided to the supposedly mentally impaired lawyer, and it must be very specific as to what is the proof of his alleged mental disability or defect. A complaint will not be treated as a complaint if it is just a vague “I thinks he’s nuts” kind of complaint. Mr. Marvin made it clear that this could go nowhere unless the complainant is specific.

I asked Mr. Marvin three times if the staff attorney (like Sheila Tuma) could proceed under Rule 3-7.13 without going to a grievance committee. He said, each time, “Absolutely not.” The matter must go to the committee for the attorney to be assessed under the regimen of that Rule. Put another way, a staff attorney can only proceed to that point with a finding of probable cause. If the committee does find probable cause, then and only then does an assessment get ordered, with the next step being a use of Rule 3-5.2 if the lawyer resists. The Florida Lawyer Assistance program is used to come up with examining doctors. These doctors are not used for the purpose of counseling or anger management. They are retained to diagnose a disability if there is one.

Now, Mr. Richard, by contrast, what has your and my Florida Bar done to me? You all have, in the last year, demanded twice, most recently a month ago, that I must submit to a mental health exam. The Bar specified, in writing, the Florida Lawyer Assistance program.

Was there a complaint filed? No, not by a third party and not by The Bar. How do I know that? Because I have never been served either with a sworn complaint or with any complaint of any kind with a Bar complaint number on it which it had to have if such a complaint were opened, either upon the initiative of a third party or The Bar itself.

Further, no grievance committee has ever been asked to do anything about this. None. Ms. Tuma has repeatedly stated that this demand has come just from the designated reviewer and from Kenneth Marvin. Period.

So, here is The Bar, demanding that I get a psych evaluation by FLAP, with no complaint even existing. None. Further, no grievance committee has passed on this, which is there for the purpose of keeping rogue prosecutors and crazed designated reviewers and sloppy Directors of Lawyer Regulation from doing this stuff ultra vires.

The Bar, quite simply then, Mr. Richard, has broken every single rule about how this is to be done when it comes to the undersigned’s alleged mental defect.

You have no complaint. You have no grievance committee. You have no probable cause, and yet here is The Bar telling me either submit to this mental exam or we shall disbar you.

This is not just extortion. This is demonstrable proof that The Bar does not give a damn about its own Rules. What it gives a damn about is getting Jack Thompson at any cost, by any means, no matter what Rules are violated and no matter whose rights are trampled.

Let me tell you something, Mr. Richard: This crap is going to stop, one way or the other.

What The Bar ought to do is apologize for this, and right quick.

Further, you need to understand that this is the most outrageous of all of the illegal stunts The Bar has pulled at the expense of my constitutional rights, and I intend to secure a remedy for it and for all the other stunts, particularly in light of the fact that you jerks pulled this lunacy nonsense over a decade ago and got burned by it. You never learned. You hate me that much.

What The Bar has literally done is commit criminal extortion. You said: Get on the couch or we will disbar you. Now that is a Hobson’s choice, is it not? While allegedly impaired, I have to consent to this stigmatizing exam, and if I don’t, if I don’t submit myself to this humiliation again, then you will humiliate me with a permanent disbarment and the inability to earn a living. Wow, such a deal, and with the consent of a crazy man.

Sheila Tuma committed criminal extortion, and everyone else who signed on for this committed it as well. Ken Marvin’s own explanation as to how it is supposed to work hangs them all, including him. His name is on Sheila Tuma’s letter as having approved this shredding of the Rules.

You, of all people, Mr. Richard, ought to be embarrassed by this. You ought to be appalled, and you ought to tell your client that it has collectively lost its mind. I sat there in your office in Tallahassee and gave your self important Guardians of Democracy, as they literally call themselves, the opportunity to eyeball me, and they know—they know—I’m not crazy.

I hereby solemnly affirm, as if under oath and under penalty of perjury, that every single word of the foregoing is true, and that it is a full and accurate account of my telephone conversation on July 26, 2007, from 2:15 pm to 2:24 pm with Kenneth Marvin, The Florida Bar’s Director of Lawyer Regulation.

Signed this 26th day of July, 2007.

Call me crazy, but isn't citing a source that spends a good 5 pages of text flat-out refuting you for lies and dishonest behavior just a LITTLE stupid? and all for one 2-line quote some other judge said, that you could easily quote from his ruling? I think Thompson WANTS to be disbarred, just so he can turn around and claim more proof of this conspiracy from 'teh industry'. e.e

@Black Manta
Agreed, with absolute convention.

I'm gettin ready to buy some Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon for when he's Disbarred.

"How does this court like being cited on the Internet as proof that Thompson is
a fabricator?"

Is it just me or did Thompson finally admit that he makes everything up?
@Jack Thompson(Who I have no doubt will eventually post on this site again)
Congratulations you have just stuck the proverbial foot in your mouth and appear to be attempting to swallow. Let us know how that goes, oh and by the way next time you write a letter to someone don't put sarcastic stuff in quotes not only is it bad journalism but its just insulting to any one with an ounce of mental capacity. Then again.......

September 4th huh? Oh goody! It's an early birthday present! I can't wait to see the documents, audio recordings, or video that will be taken. I want to capture the moment when John Bruce "Jack" Thompson is finally disbarred. No more legal activity for him!

"Hello, welcome to CNN. Tonight: Video Games - Helpful or Harmful? Joining us live is John Bruce "Jack" Thompson from Florida."

"It's a pleasure to be here."

"Now, Mr. Thompson I understand that you have recently been disbarred from practicing law in the state of Florida."

"Unfortunately, yes I have, but..."

"And isn't it true that you were called the Joseph McCarthy of media? Calling out fake listings and information to push your own personal agenda?"

"WHAT?! NO!"

"Well then explain to me this, Mr. Thompson: We have had you on our show before and you've told us about various different studies describing how video games effect children. Yet, when we went to verify your sources, we found that they were not even remotely close to what you had claimed or stated. How do you justify this?"

"It's not my fault! It's the Video Game Industry's fault!"

"Uh huh. And I suppose the music industry and 2 Live Crew are in on this too?"

"Absolutely!"

"Thank you Mr. Thompson, it was good speaking with..."

"NOW HOLD ON! Don't you want to hear what I have to say about the video games?"

"No, actually. I'm afraid you have proven to be too incompetent to hold an adult conversation."

"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!"

"Yes, and I'm sure we'll see you and your lawyer in court. Just remember that we're CNN and our lawyers eat people like you for breakfast with a hint of Mrs. Dash."

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO..."

"Oh! Looks like we can! Your mic's been cut! Alright everyone, stay tuned as we interview our first real contributor to tonight's story: Dennis McCauley. We'll be right back."

~Otaku-Man

So a single SLAPP Bar Complaint is a "vast conspiracy?" Especially when taking the account of events provided by Dennis, which clearly shows he had reason to file such a complaint. A singular event does a conspiracy make.

And plus, Dennis is not a part of the video game industry Which is in and of itself a specious term: How do you define the video game industry? Retailers, coders, game companies, producers, distributors ... Each can be seen as a part of the 'industry' but all have widely different concerns and interests, and each would have a separate beef with Thompson (if at all).

It's much simpler, and therefore more likely, to believe that Thompson's methods, issues, and arguments have no merit and invoke a strong reaction by (almost) everyone he is involved with, rather than believing that each tentacle of the 'video game industry' can stop bickering amongst themselves and agree to conspire against Thompson.

Well, looks like JT is about to lose. I remember when he was around here last, always insulting and being an internet troll. I remember when his arguements made a micron of sence (at least more so than now) when he was not talking about the vast conspiracy against him. Jack used to be our greatest foe, now he is a patheitc shell of himself. We have defended outselves for so long, and now it looks like one of the major players in that group is about to fall.

@JT
I am sorry to say this, but your run as the gamer's greatest enemy is almost over. It was a fun time of pain and misery for both sides. I will miss you when you go Jack, please be sure to end your career with a stunt that overdoes all your other ones. It is only right you go out with a bang. I am sure even you can sence the end is near.

It would not phase me at all if what Grey says actually happens.

What I want to know is how he got his license in the first place. If he 's fighting this much against the psyche evaluation you know he's either deathly worried about it or has something to hide. I mean if your clean of something, you come upfront and confess your innocence, not badger everyone about every reason (believable or not) why its asinine to have to.

And, why has it taken so long for the courts to finally put JT on the spot for his unethical behavior, especially after some of the confrontations I've heard about with judges The only things I know about him are from what I read on the web, and EVERY bit of info I've found is always about his childish behavior, language, and unethical conduct towards judges, lawyers and evryone else who thinks differently than him. It's one thing to be non-conformist, different minded, or eccentric, but its a whole other story being a COMPLETE ASS about it.

@ Jack Thompson

You may have said you stopped dealing with this site, but we all know your still reading it for more fodder. Why don't you try practicing the Religious Morals you so whole heartedly believe in. I don't now much about you, but already I don't like you. If you would like to change my opinions of you in a CIVILIZED manner, my e-mail is playingchess1313@yahoo.com, not bad for a 'coward hiding in anonymity.'

It's noteworthy that Mr. Thompson's signature block on his court filings, by its use of "Suite 111," creates the misleading impression that his professional address is some sort of office building. It's actually a mail drop-box at a UPS store.

I'm entirely convinced that Mr. Thompson wouldn't be familiar with "truthfulness" even if the concept was tied to a cinder block and dropped on his toes.

It would not phase me at all if what Grey says actually happens.

To whoever said it: You are absolutely right. A few years ago JT was something to keep your eye on. Something that presented a potential threat to the gaming industry. However, in the past year, and especially in the past few months, JT has further and further alienated himself from the masses. His hysterical rants and accusations are getting SO outrageous that it's not just us anymore that is brushing him off. Hell, for the most part, I'm willing to be people report on him JUST for the humor factor. I know that's why I read up on it now.

I predict the response to this...

"Thompson submits nothing beyond MORE wild accusations of a vast conspiracy against him"

A person who discounts falsehoods in the past does not mean the person is baised against the person who uttered them. It means they saw them for what they were.
Eg. Person A lies about something. Person B points out that Person A's statement is a lie. THis does not mean that B hates or is biased toward A.

"this video game web site’s latest attack upon Thompson"
It was not an attack, it was a response TO an attack made by Thompson on another website. Even then, it is not so much an attack, but a collection of facts and references that show how and when Thompson has been abusive, unreasonable and completely wrong in the past.

And once again, we have the accusation that GP is a video game industry site. True enough, it reports ON the industry, but is not a part of it. I have a great interest in World of Warcraft and often speak to my friends about it, telling them about new features, dungeons, etc. Does this make me part of the video game industry? Being a member of the ECA is like being part of a fan club for a rock band. You follow what is going on with them, there might be some little perks like merchandise, posters, magazines etc, but you are NOT part of the music industry.

"How does this court like being cited on the Internet as proof that Thompson is a fabricator?" Hang on a second, is he actually admitting that he was lying and actually is a fabricator? That's like pointing at fingerprint or DNA evidence and saying "How do you like being used to prove I'm a murderer!"
To me this sounds like he has finally grasped that his career is over and come September will lose his licence, and all of this is whinging and moaning about the fact. I've seen similar behaviour on programs like COPS, a criminal is cought red-handed doing something wrong, is apprehended and taken into custody, yet never stops protesting their innocence or insulting the police.

If JT isn't the personification of "truthiness" as Stephen Colbert defines it, I don't know what the hell JT is.

@NoFish, acting as your own attorney is practically grounds to demand a psychiatric evaluation anyway. This is getting increasingly messed up. Again, he's essentially arguing that the judge is biased against him with no evidence other than fact that the judge has ruled against him in the past.

Hey, just a reminded, does anyone recall what the judge was responding too back in december? Was that the whole Rico charges he was trying to file but then alter, cause that was classic.

It's not hard to believe that which evere JT case it was that it did amount to a baseless vast conspiracy against him; afterall, half the things he says amounts to just that. Simply saying that someone is out to get you, or that their multiple parties working together to get you, is pretty much asserting that their is a conspiracy agaisnt you. And if you have no solid evidence that any of it is true, not even a connection between the parties then it really is nothing more than "wild accusations".

thompson needs to get that much needed psyche evalutation.

@ Shoehorn O'Plenty

Well said. Jack can really only blame himself. He won't, but he should. With all the sound bites from Jack, and all the times hes been on TV, and his behavior in and outside of the courtroom, all combined with his behavior on the Internet, he is his biggest enemy. Even other lawyers don't like him.

I'm still wondering how that run at Judge Friedman's seat is shaping up.

So Jack's pointing to people to evidence of his own falsehoods about the game industry and those surrounding it, and pointing out his own smear campaign.

Can you hear that? It's the world's smallest violin. And it's playing Jack's tune.

We don't use it because it's hurtful, any more than the court did, it's used because it is 100% accurate.

So Jack is citing Gamepolitics as an industry website despite the fact that that claim was thoroughly shot down in Gamepolitics lastest DEFENSE against Jack's latest attack.

Yeah, slick move there Jack.

Of course there is a vast conspiracy against JT.

Base all your cases on either outright lies or biased interpretations of already suspect or marginalized data and you can really annoy people. Tick off enough people over a continued time period and most of them will eventually want to see you get your come-uppances and will work with others to see it happen. And having that person get his thumping from the very people who license him to be annoying seems like a just reward.

About three years ago I considered Thompson an actual threat to games.

I don't consider that to be the case any longer. He's a crack-pot and we all know it. It's something we've known for some time now as gamers and it's something that he's demonstrated time and again in the mainstream media in recent months.

At this point I hope we keep him around as long as possible simply because his hystrionics and flamboyant hyperbole only serve to demonstrate how ridiculous his position is.

Does the guy even read what he writes? Does he know what he's saying? It would almost be comical to read his tripe, if it wasn't already so very sad... I find myself thinking about his son and wondering how much of a life that kid has with his dad being such a lunatic.

I remember watching a video interviewing/profiling Thompson and he was talking about his son and how he liked to spend time with him. One of the clips they showed was of Thompson, in shirt and tie, stiffly playing Basketball with a slightly confused and uncertain son. It was pretty obvious to even the most casual observer that this attempt at familiarity and "every-day" bonding and quality time was affected and contrived.

I kinda hope Jack sticks around and is acquitted of the disciplinary charges so that he can continue his embicility.

It's good that they provide a link to this site so they can see how crazy and obsessive Thompson is. Dennis couldn't answer Thompson's calls for a couple hours, so he goes nuts afterwards claiming a conspiracy against him from this very site. Big surprise there, but not only that but he called Dennis a whooping six times in only a few hours time to just spout off his mouth and such. They guy is a nut job, why do you think he wasn't to avoid a psyche evaluation? Because people will know just how nutty and delusional he really is.

I can also guarantee that after that is found out he'll go on another crazy rant saying the the video game industry paid of the person evaluating him to say those things and get him disbarred and out of their hair. It's everyone against Jack! Poor Jack!

Damn it! I'm tired of him. Fuck Jack Thompson! Find something better to do with yourself you crazy bastard!

@ All who want to do something against Thompson.

Guys you all know Dennis does not support action against anyone on this site, particularly individuals in Miami.

@Keaton

I believe it's customary to refer to yourself in 3rd person when acting as your own attorney in court. Probably still doesn't help his case that he doesn't need a psychiatric evaluation, though.

@Black Manta

Yah! Now the REAL conspiracy against Jacky begins! We should make an army of underground agents who's sole purpose is to make Jack's world a living hell. We, of course, would have no affiliation to such fine websites like GP.

At last we will have our revenge. ^_^

No one ever accused Jack of being a genius. Sure, we've accused him of lying, manipulating, being rude, acting like a vulture, but never a genius.

@Carbonatedgravy
That, and he just gave them the site's link, which currently has a 4-part story on how Jack has been lying on various occasions.

Uh... isn't he inadvertantly shooting himself in the foot by alleging once again falsely that GamePolitics is an industry run commodity? Here he is trying to defend his integrity while not only blatantly lying, but blatantly lying about the very nonexistent conspiracy that he has been admonished for. This is beyond irony.

Heh, There may not be a conspiracy, but if you drive enough of your allies away, you will find yourself surrounded by enemies. He sees enemies all around him, and he cannot blame himself for angering them, or for driving away what few allies he had, and as a result is inventing a mysterious puppeteer working against him... driving away all aid... coordinating his failures...

Sorry to do the double posting thing, though I'm not even sure if this'll get answered at this rate...

Is there a ToS for this site, and if there is, where can I read it at?

"IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT??????????????"


IS CAPLOCK GREAT OR WHAT!!1!11ONE11!!!ONE!!!ELEVENTY!!!!GONNABEDISBAREDYOUFILTHYWASTEOFSKIN!11!



On another note I am curious to why you think this is a great country Jack. I mean every one of you actions is an attempt to undermine basic freedoms of speech and of expression. You should know that those freedoms extend to the video game industry as well, not just senile, mentally ill lawyers from florida.

NOT ONLY is this completely off topic, it's essentially a last-ditch effort to dodge the subpoena.

What do you have to hide Mr. Thompson?

We all know you're a nutjob.

Let's go down the JT checklist, shall we?

Making an accusation against his opponents without presenting facts or evidence? Check.

An appeal to the religiously minded recipients of the letter? Check.

An attempt at Sympathy by exploiting his wife's alleged cancer? Check.

Insulting the accusers, the Bar association, the recipients of the letter, and the court itself? Check.

Making an utter fool of himself in some direct or indirect form? that Warning at the top makes this a Check.

An utter lack of professionalism, decency, and decorum? Check.

A failure to check grammar and spelling? ("2:15-2:224"?) Check.

Random ass quote from someone reasonably famous that has almost nothing to do with the letter itself? Check.

A mention of the vast entertainment conspiracy/mob out to see him disbarred? Ooooo; So close, but not this time.

Still... Absolutely 100% pure Jack Thompson. I must say, if he's crazy, at least he's a consistant kind of crazy.

Thanks Nightwng2000. Those filings are entertaining. My favourite was from SC07-80, on 4/12/07:

"Additionally, the Court notes that respondent has attached inappropriate and pornographic materials to his petitions that are irrelevant to his arguments. Respondent is warned that should he continue to submit such inappropriate filings, the Court will consider imposing sanctions which may include, but are not limited to, a limitation on Respondent's ability to submit further filings without the signature of an attorney other than himself."
