Delin Says: "I believe the death threats. There are members of our community that are too young and immature to realize that their big talk actually hurts our cause.
The vandalism, well, I have the strangest feeling that it was something along the lines of his house being TP’d or putting up signs or lawn flamingos on his lawn..."
That's my thought as well. After Thompson claimed that kissing constituted "gay sex" in Bully, it became all too clear that he's willing to exaggerate, to absurd levels, the degree of any given subject.
Sadly, I have to agree with the issue of death threats as well. I'm sure that he's received very few, but it's asinine, dangerous, and damaging to the view of gamers all the same. Fortunately, the only prosecuted case of such an act toward Thompson involved (if I recall) an underage boy who probably didn't have the nerve to harm a fly.

Posted 07/23/08 at 05:09pm lumi: GP, you should mention you'll be filing a legal injunction against him if he doesn't comply. Phoenix Wright will be attached
Posted 07/23/08 at 03:32pm Alteffor: You should add a section to the site for anything Jack CC's to you. It's always entertaining to read the stuff he writes.
