to be honest, it's hard to know what significance to assign this development.

It's certainly a clever strategy on JT's part, but the Bar will still probably insist on its own review. It's unclear how much of a picture the shrink had of Jack's conduct, so it's hard to make that judgment.

As to posting the entire report, I have it, but it creeps me out to post someone's psych review. If JT wants to post it, fine - and I see that he has. Readers certainly got the flavor of it from what I wrote.

The thing with the AL judge, dunno. Jack is a spinner, so I want to read the transcript for myself.

On closer inspection, I see both an Oren and a Teri Wunderman listed on the report posted by Mr. Thompson, so ignore my above comment. I suppose that the both of them are affiliated.

@ Jack Thompson in support of Dennis

I quote from the evaluation you posted:

"Privileged and Confidential: For Professional Usage Only"

That is why he did not link it.

"Excuse me, gamers, but Dr. Wunderman’s reputation is at stake, and he thus administered hours of tests. He is widely known in this community to be an honest professional. "

Assuming that Mr. Thompson isn't deliberately dropping an "s" from the relevant pronouns, it would seem that the Dr. Wunderman in question isn't the one identified by nightwng2000 however far up.

And Jack's stated resolution to his psychologist to be more moderate in his writings lasted, what, a day?

I do agree on one thing. This site is in painful need of comments moderation and a login. All these fake Jacks are annoying to deal with.

Actually, I would say that he is a very biased "professional" as it applies to this specific instance. Clearly, there is a conflict of interest as it applies to his evaluation of you and his personal religious beliefs.

While religion, even a dishonorable unethical religion, can coexist with any particular profession, it is clear that in this context, a conflict of interest, both in method of evaluation as well as the determining of results.

A far more proper and in depth evaluation should be required. And it should be done by someone who is not so clearly biased and has a clear conflict of interest in these matters.

Frankly, John Bruce, you've only proven just how dishonorable, unethical, and corrupt not only you are, but just how dishonorable, unethical, and corrupt some members of the mental health profession can be.

"The Bar refused. This is the result. Deal with it." -JT

No Jack. We won't deal with it. Unlike the American government which people have so many problems with but aren't wanting to take the necessary steps to change it other than to wait, the gaming community is largely informed about your internet and courtroom antics and we DO WANT CHANGE. JT you may not rest until you see results, but we the gamers won't stop until we see you put in your place. The case just fell apart? No nonono, this is the beginning of the end of your ridiculous display.

And when the day comes, I'll make a road trip picking up other gamers and donate video games and video game systems to place on your yard so that you can have something to play.

"Excuse me, gamers, but Dr. Wunderman’s reputation is at stake, and he thus administered hours of tests. He is widely known in this community to be an honest professional. The Bar had to come forward with some evidence, from some source, of my alleged mental illness. The Bar refused. This is the result. Deal with it."

Huh, so by your own admission, Dr. Wunderman's analysis of you was incomplete, due to the omission of all your crazy rantings at the Bar, other lawyers, judges, news sites, etc. Guess it's worthless as a judge of whether you are an obsessed lunatic then.

I hardly see how Dr. Wunderman is supposed to analyze your mental capacity with regard to dealing with the law and conspiracies when he isn't shown any relevant documents.

Guess we'll just have to wait for a proper exam where the evidence isn't pre-screened by the man who's being analyzed...

jeez, it took me forever to find this damn comic to make a point

Enjoy.

To Jack: If I remember correctly, he revoked your PHV because you refused to stop publishing information about the trail to the public. Which, by the way, is really bad form for a lawyer, and in the end, all you did was give everyone a negative view upon the family that you were trying to 'help'. Would've been much better off if you never stepped foot into the case.

Also, it would be best if you learned what an apology meant. You are practically trying to black mail Judge Moore for one, "Apologize, or I will..." is all that comes to mind from that little email there. It reminds me of the bullies in school, holding a kid up to a locker, threatening to beat them unless they hand over their lunch money. Again, for being this Crusader of Right and Wrong, of Everything that is Holy and the Good of the Children (Think of it as a title, like your Superior Intellectual Functioning appears to be), you are doing little more then tainting religion with your, and I shall use a certain word that I find rather amusing in your last paragraph there, rotten values.

And, just because I know I'm a porn crazed, serial killer in training, that wants nothing more then to spread such a thing to children: I agree entirely, kids should not be playing some games. However, that is not up to you, or the goverment. The last time I checked, parents are supposed to be the ones that raise their children, and even with such laws in place, if the parent feels the kid can play such a game, they will still get it. Nothing you do can change that, ever. Unless, of course, you honestly feel you are able to, which case I will have to say: Grow up. That is honestly the only thing that would come to mind from such actions.

@Kincyr: Well, not from what I recall. This was just his accusation from 1999 on NBC.

The real title of the story should be "Jack Thompson Cleared by ONE Shrink".All Jack has to do is keep getting psych exams until he gets one that says he sane.Getting tests until you get one that makes you look good is quite common.There been drug addicts that did the same thing with there drug tests.Thats why courts in many cases chooses who give the tests to people.And Jack is the prime example why courts chooses the people who gives psych exams and drug tests.

@Jack:

Do you really think reading the WHOLE report is a very good eyecatching article.
Oh, how ironic it is that you are the one to complain about censorship.

Remember, boys and girls, the game industry is out to make you murderers!

Hooah!

Excuse me, gamers, but Dr. Wunderman's reputation is at stake, and he thus administered hours of tests. He is widely known in this community to be an honest professional. The Bar had to come forward with some evidence, from some source, of my alleged mental illness. The Bar refused. This is the result. Deal with it.

Urgh, i'm starting to hate this format.
Why not a log in system for the comments, so people can be banned for faking, or trolling for that matter.

Jack has cleansed his act up a bit concerning his behaviour on the comments section. Still don't like what he stands for.

Since Dennis McCauley, acting as the Censor in Chief here, won't provide to his readers the entire report, here it is. Brain scan for Dennis McCauley coming up ;)

FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION

Privileged and Confidential: For Professional Usage Only

Patient Name: Thompson, John (A.K.A. “Jack” Thompson)
Date of birth: July 25, 1951
Age: 56 Years Old
Dates of Evaluation: August 6, 2007, August 16, 2007 & August 18, 2007
Date of Report: August 20, 2007

Reason for Referral and Presenting Circumstances

Mr. Thompson is an attorney licensed in the State of Florida to practice law. The Florida Bar is currently investigating Mr. Thompson concerning the following allegations made by The Bar and several of Mr. Thompson’s legal adversaries:

1. It is alleged that Mr. Thompson suffers from a mental illness or disorder that impairs his capacity to competently practice law.

2. It is alleged that Mr. Thompson is “obsessed” with the prosecution and limiting of pornography and obscenity, a subject about which he has filed formal complaints.

3. It is alleged that Mr. Thompson is “obsessed” with curtailing violent video-games that are marketed to minors. He has sued the manufacturers of violent video- games that are marketed to minors, asserting that they promote real-life “copy-cat killings.”

Mr. Thompson engaged me to conduct an Independent Forensic Psychological Evaluation to assess the above-listed three allegations.

Informed Consent

Mr. Thompson was apprised of the limitations of confidentially associated with this assessment because of the on-going Bar investigation and the litigation in which he is a party.

Scope of Report

The report is a summary document that is focused only on the assessment of the above-
listed allegations. As such, this report is not data-exhaustive of all information obtained or all clinical findings and opinions.

Psychosocial History Reported on August 16, 2007

Mr. Thompson reported the following information:

Mr. Thompson was born and raised in Ohio, where he lived with his biological mother, father and sister, who is three years older than he. His parents were loving, supportive and structured. His parents are still married to each other. His father, now 88 years old, is in declining health and his mother, now 84, is in fairly good health. He has a relatively close relationship with his sister.

Mr. Thompson credibly denied being subjected to – or observing any- forms of sexual abuse or domestic violence during his upbringing. He was disciplined primarily via verbal admonishments, withdrawal of privileges and “times-out.” There was no usage of alcohol or recreational drugs in his family of origin.

Mr. Thompson married his wife, Ms. Patricia Thompson, in May 1976. They have one son, now 15 years old. He is very happily married to Ms. Thompson, describing her as a wonderful life partner, a superior lawyer, a great mother to their son, and a kindred “Evangelical Christian.”

Mr. Thompson developed an abiding devotion to Evangelical Christianity in his early adulthood, experiencing his faith as one of the cornerstone satisfactions and sources of strength in his life. He and his wife are both devout Evangelical Christians, a commonality that they both experience as inspirational and fortifying.

Mr. Thompson is a “stay-at-home-dad” who works from his home office and has plenty of opportunity to interact with his son, a role and relationship that he treasures.

Mr. Thompson has a life that is very full with friends, colleagues and fellow congregants. He and his wife socialize comfortably with others. Mr. and Ms. Thompson feel warmth and esteem from others and they feel positive attachments to a host of friends, colleagues and congregants in their lives. He feels a strong sense of commitment to the betterment of himself and to the community in general.

The history given by Mr. Thompson, and his clinical presentation during the interview, indicated psychological health, connectedness to loved ones and friends, and a deep, balanced connection to religion and spirituality. There was no evidence of a major mental illness or an impairment to competently practice law in his self-report or clinical presentation. There was no evidence of an obsessive pursuit of “righting all personal wrongs” or of the “righting of all social wrongs.” There was no evidence of a grandiose sense of having to be a “guardian of public morality.” (Quotation marks added by Dr. Wunderman)

Mental Status Examination Conducted on August 16, 2007

Mr. Thompson is a 56 year old, Caucasian male who presented in mild distress. He stated that he has, at times, felt offended by the ad hominem attacks made against him by The Bar and some of his legal adversaries. He presented as clean, neat and casually dressed. He was responsive to questions, elaborating freely upon many questions asked. He spoke with precision, often eloquently, and without tangentiality or circumstantiality. There was no point at which he took umbrage at the personal questions asked during this interview.

Mr. Thompson convincingly denied any current or historical delusions, hallucination, ideas of influence or ideas of reference, homicidal ideation, suicidal ideation, alcohol abuse, recreational drug usage or difficulties with appetite. He reported some recent difficulty sleeping that he attributed to his upset over the personal attacks against him by The Bar and some of his legal adversaries. He denied any episodes of disassociation, but did report one instance of having been temporarily knocked unconscious during a basketball game when he was a very young man. He drinks alcohol occasionally, and only in moderation. He reports generally feeling happy and blessed in his life. He is in generally good health and enjoys golfing and walking. He does not take any medications. His judgment and insight appear to be within normal limits.

There was no evidence of a major mental illness in Mr. Thompson’s self-report or clinical presentation. There was no evidence of an impairment to competently practice law in his self-report or clinical presentation.

Evaluation-Specific Questioning

I asked Mr. Thompson why he thought he was being accused by some of being mentally unstable or impaired from the competent practice of law. He said that he has never engaged in any form of bizarre or erratic practice of law. He felt that these attacks come from manufacturers of violent video games marketed and sold to minors and from radio “shock jocks” and owners of certain radio stations whom he has criticized and successfully filed complaints against.

I asked Mr. Thompson why he thought that he was accused of having an “obsession” against pornography and obscenity. He said that he does not feel or act pre-occupied with pornography or obscenity either in his personal life or his professional life. He said that he took action against certain radio “shock jocks” because he felt that the public airing of certain content was unarguably offensive, and the Federal Trade Commission concurred with his assessment. He stated that the airing of indecent material is a violation of Federal Law.

I asked Mr. Thompson why he felt that he was accused of having an “obsession” with violent video-games that are marketed to minors. He said that he feel that there is a direct, empirically verifiable link between certain violent video games marketed to minors and the subsequent frequency and modus operandi of some violent crimes committed by minors, especially toward police officers. He was clear in telling me that he felt that censoring violent subject matter to adults was not something that regulators should become involved in. However, he felt strongly that there is a clear and present danger to youth, and their subsequent victims, who view and interact with violent videos and video games. He stated that he represents three families in Alabama whose loved ones were killed by video-gamers.

I asked Mr. Thompson about the hyperbole and sarcasm that I read in some of his motions/pleadings. He said that he realizes that he may have offended some with his ad hominem writings, and he will be more moderate in his writing style in the future. He reported that there was a factual basis to each of his written statements.

I asked Mr. Thompson about the unsworn allegation made by a Judge from Alabama that he had intentionally withheld information from the Judge about a prior Florida Bar investigation about him. He said that he provided the Alabama Court with all prior records from The Florida Bar, and he can prove his compliance.

Psychological Testing and Interpretation of Results

The results produced by Mr. Thompson on the Minnesota Multi-Phasic Personality Inventory -2 indicated some areas of personal distress and difficulty. However, he does not appear psychotic or impaired to competently practice law.

The results produced by Mr. Thompson on the Millon Clinical Multaxial Inventory – III indicated some areas of personal distress and difficulty. However, he does not appear psychotic or impaired to competently practice law.

The results produced by Mr. Thompson on the Incomplete Sentence Blank – Adult Form, indicated that he is a pro-social, fundamentally optimistic person who feels a reverence for God.

The results produced by Mr. Thompson on the Multi-Modal Life History Inventory indicated no evidence of a major mental illness and no impairment to competently practice law.

Collateral Information

In the interests of comprehensiveness, the following sources of collateral information were either reviewed or sought:

1. Mr. Thompson reported that The Florida Bar investigated his mental health in approximately 1992. He said that, pursuant to that investigation, he submitted to a Psychological examination and a Psychiatric examination. He said that both assessments concluded that he was mentally well, competent to practice law, and functioning not from extremism, but from a thoughtful furtherance of his faith. I asked Mr. Thompson several times to furnish me with copies of the two evaluations and The Bar’s ultimate determinations. He said and showed me that he had requested this information several times from the Custodian of Records of The Florida Bar.

2. I read a number of Mr. Thompson’s motions to The Florida Bar and one
responsive motion from The Florida Bar. Also, I read several of his letters
and other documents on his website.

3. Collateral Interview with Ms. Patricia Thompson, Mr. Thompson’s wife, on
August 16, 2007. The information provided by Ms. Thompson does not support
the accusation against Mr. Thompson of alleged mental impairment or the
accusation of “obsession” with pornography or violence.

4. Collateral Interview with Mr. J. F. on August 18, 2007. Mr. J. F. is a close friend of Mr. Thompson. They have known each other for about the past ten years. The
information provided by Mr. J. F. does not support the accusation against Mr.
Thompson of mental impairment or the accusation of “obsession” with
pornography or violence.

5. Collateral Interview with Mr. M. T. on August 18, 2007. Mr. M. T, who is no
relation to Mr. John Thompson, has known Mr. John Thompson well for about the
past fifteen years. The information provided by Mr. M. T. does not support the
allegation against Mr. John Thompson of mental impairment or the accusation of
“obsession” with pornography or violence.

Summary and Impressions

Concerning Mr. John Thompson, the overall impression is that of a socially committed, and religiously devout man, of Superior Intellectual Functioning, who does not suffer from any major mental illness or impairment. He is deeply committed to personal betterment and social progress which he feels involves the regulation of exposure of minors to pornography, obscenity and violence.

Concerning the accusations that Mr. Thompson displays “obsession” with pornography, obscenity and/or violence presented to minors, Mr. Thompson does not report or display any of said obsessions. That is, his self-report, his clinical presentation and his relationships with his wife and two close personal friends reveal no evidence of fixation with pornography, obscenity and/or violence. To the extent that testing data may reveal such obsessions, there was no evidence of this theme in his ideation.

Mr. Thompson appears to be a thoughtful, prosocial and erudite man whose life is anchored, fortified and enriched by his Evangelical Christianity. I find no evidence that his faith distorts, clouds or impairs his personal or professional judgment.

While Mr. Thompson displays certain areas of personal distress and difficulty, such problem areas are well within the range from which attorneys can and do practice competently and even expertly.

Circuit Court Judge

Fayette, Alabama 35555 Via Fax to 205-932-3678

Dear Judge Moore:

As you know, I took your deposition today in the context of The Florida Bar’s “discipline” of me..

I told my wife, who is a lawyer and a far better one than I will ever be, that you admitted, under oath (which you have not been under until now), that I in fact did not even have to disclose to you my public reprimand back in 1992, since all the Alabama State Bar required was information about suspensions and disbarments, either actual or potential. As you now had to admit, there were no suspensions and disbarments.

My wife then asked the following question:

“Did Judge Moore apologize?”

That’s a heck of a good question, Judge. And so here’s mine:

Are you going to apologize?

I ask, because you should. People make “mistakes.” You made a whopper. You put my career at risk because you never bothered to call The Florida Bar to find out if I had ever been suspended or disbarred or even threatened with that. Now The Bar’s staff clerks state there never was such a proceeding, and you ran with the rotten bait Blank Rome falsely dangled under your nose.

I’ll accept an apology, if it is made by tomorrow.

Regards, Jack Thompson

If we're compiling insane ramblings, that "supplement" he posted would be a good start. It certainly doesn't mean that anything is over--none of this will be over until the Florida Bar responds and the Supreme Court of Florida gives its ruling.

I'd have a better time believing the report if it was from a bar ordered Doctor instead of a self reffered doc by the defending party. If this eval is of such importance the bar should suggest a Doctor for him. I would think the severity of this eval would bring certian restrictions such as seeing a doc at his own expense ...i mean drug tests when you're hired for a job are more restrictive and more emloyer controlled than this. I'd like to see Mr. Thompson see a Doc from another state who has no relationship what so ever besides the phone call the make the apointment.

I don't have time to go through all of the comments right now and I've missed quite a bit. So since I'm short on time I was mostly skimming towards responses regarding the information nightwng2000 posted which kind of made everything regarding the questionable shrink evaluation add up. As I was reading the report it just seemed... off. Religion was brought up again and again and not just because it's the basis/excuse Jack Thompson uses for all his actions (this isn't to say his religion is wrong, just that he seems to use it as an instrument rather then his claims of him being an instrument of it). In the report his religion was always presented as if the religion itself was the embodiment of "correct behavior" and the standard to be used in order to determine whether he was mentally stable. That doesn't seem unbiased at all. So I really wasn't surprised when nightwng2000 discovered that the shrink was also a minister. No, I am NOT saying a minister is incapable of being unbiased when it comes to their other professions, rather that it seems VERY likely that this person was sought out by Jack Thompson because he knew they shared the same ideals and may even have the same group of friends. Of course, this means that Jack Thompson purposely sought out someone who would go easy on him or even possibly create an evaluation based on limited information as a kind of "one friend to another" gesture. The report seems like it didn't only go easy on him but actually endorses him. It's filled with bold and unnecessary statements regarding intelligence and moral fiber. It also fails to make any extensive analysis on the negative aspects of his personality which is another red flag because the whole point of these evaluations is to determine the severity of the negative aspects (which we all have).

I'm sure some of these questions have already been answered so just ignore them if they have. Has any further information regarding the relationship between the minister and Jack Thompson come up? Such as friends/groups they share. Is this report honestly passable as a legit psych evaluation? I don't mean the minister's reputation as a shrink but the evaluation itself. Has it been officially accepted? If Jack Thompson gets cleared as someone who is of sound mind then fine. My main concern is that it's done in a FAIR manner, meaning unbiased, no questionable methods that will still leave a big question mark over this whole incident.

@Jack Thompson:

Assuming this shrink is correct and you ARE sane, could you please explain why you take time almost every day to insult children on the internet? It does nothing to further your cause, encourages backlash from the gaming community, and even earns you enemies. Is it perhaps an outlet for your aggressive tendencies? If so, you might want to try video games instead... ;)
