(1) respondent made false statements of material fact to courts and repeatedly violated a court order; (2) respondent communicated the subject of representation directly with clients of opposing counsel; (3) respondent engaged in prohibited ex parte communications; (4) respondent publicized and sent hundreds of pages of vitriolic and disparaging missives, letters, faxes, and press releases, to the affected individuals; (5) respondent targeted an individual who was not involved with respondent in any way, merely due to "the position [the
individual] holds in state and national politics;" (6) respondent falsely, recklessly, and publicly accused a judge as being amenable to the "fixing" of cases; (7) respondent sent courts inappropriate and offensive sexual materials; (8) respondent falsely and publicly accused various attorneys and their clients of engaging in a conspiracy/enterprise involving "the criminal distribution of sexual materials to minors" and attempted to get prosecuting authorities to charge these attorneys and their clients for racketeering and extortion; (9) respondent harassed the former client of an attorney in an effort to get the client to use its influence to persuade the attorney to withdraw a defamation suit filed by the attorney against respondent; and
(10) respondent retaliated against attorneys who filed Bar complaints against him for his unethical conduct by asserting to their clients, government officials, politicians, the media, female lawyers in their law firm, employees, personal friends, acquaintances, and their wives, that the attorneys were criminal pornographers who objectify women. The Court concludes that the facts, as even more extensively detailed in the referee's report, support the referee's numerous recommendations as to guilt.
anyone who professionally trolls the shit out of faggot gamers deserves my respect. it's sad to see him go.man you really take SELFHATING GAMER thing to a new level. i hate most of them too but maaaaan, do you really respect jack thompson? like you know he wasnt trolling right??
I dont respect him as a person since hes probably a dick irl but I respect his ability at pissing off millions of anime loving neckbeards over stupid shit that nobody in the real world cares about.
I dont respect him as a person since hes probably a dick irl but I respect his ability at pissing off millions of anime loving neckbeards over stupid shit that nobody in the real world cares about.uhhh i care about it a lot and i think it is a little ridiculous that you would dismiss shit as childish/unimportant just because it has to do with videogames on some level. like do you not see how this is just a branch of a much larger problem having to do with idiocy in the media (do you remember the coverage that mass effect nudity bullshit got?)/censorship/religious zealotry/a bunch of other shit that people should probably care about? jack thompson all by himself isn't that big a deal because a lot of people don't take him seriously, but ENOUGH people do that he's really pretty troubling. yes it has to do with stupid videogames but it ties into so much other stuff and it is pretty short-sighted to write this off as insignificant, because these are the very same people who spend their time on a lot of other causes, and have a huge impact on things that are actually important. so yeah i think the videogames vs jack thompson thing is important, if only because it connects to a much larger ideological struggle that has quite a lot of significance in the "real world".
nobody who mattered gave a shit about jack thompson. the only people who payed any attention to him at all were idiots who take video games way too seriously.im pretty sure hillary clinton officially backed him up
but you really play this ANTIVIDEOGAME thing up a lot and it doesnt even seem like a troll. you kind of sound like some coal miner who's yelling at his son who's into music to go learn a real tradeprobably not a terrible way of looking at it. the vast majority of people who make games fucking suck at it and should probably pursue a career closer to their intellectual capabilities(such as janitor or fluffer)
a lot of people backed him up til he went really crazy towards the end of the disbarring case (gay porn). He had support from Fox News which whether you like it or not is still a really popular news channel that a huge bunch of idiots will believe anything from (Mass effect has full frontal nudity or w/e anyone? yeah people believed it.), and it's pretty short sighted to me to say that only the HARDCORE GAMER cares about this guy when the stuff he is saying is getting through to the casual gamer who in general just so happens to be the majority dumb American who seems to take a lot as true just because a news outlet says it is. He nearly had a company ruined, and that's a company of 2,000 people. Jesus man, that's my entire town! He could have had my entire town fired and searching for a new job and shut down. He wouldn't be so bad and I could at least vaguely respect the guy, if he wasn't using lies all the time to get anywhere, and the media REPORTING these lies as truth because they are completely dumb. It's like OBAMA IS A MUSLIM. you can't tell me there isn't a TON of Americans out there who believe it. a lot of people are just stupid like that, and that's where JT really won his battles at, is at the stupid American level, which either way is still a part of the demographic for the casual "emergent" gamer that is getting into it. A really big part. These are the older adults who never gave it a try or thought it was stupid! And this man has a chance to warp what they think, because they'll believe him because he was on FOX NEWS, and even if he is completely dumb that is still a very terrible thing. this isn't like religious zealots DEMONIZING POKEMON AND DUNGEONS AND DRAGONZ or COMIC BOOK FANS because the last 2 are niche markets still, and the first 1 was given up on and really the people still doing it probably hate homosexuals too and everything else on the planet. but yeah, most of them are niche markets (just talking about D&D and Comics), gaming is no longer really this niche market thing at all. More people are getting into gaming in 08 than before, even when Space Invaders caused a problem in Japan with 100 yen coins! It's becoming an acceptable industry upon the masses like film and music, and with more people, there needs to more real media checking on the legitness of stories because as more people join the industry as consumers, idiots like JT get a lot more power going.
Honestly, you say that only these RABID HARDCORE GAMERS care about things NO ONE IN REAL WORLD CARES ABOUT (getting fired/censoring media, who cares about this???) and that EVERYONE KNOWS HE'S A JOKE, but I sure would like to know how the non-gamers know he is a joke? Really it's those very same RABID HARDCORE GAMERS who know he is a joke (besides the disbarring now, of course.), no one outside of gaming does, and that's the problem!
basically what im saying is that there's a very obvious pattern where new forms of entertainment/art are demonized by people who don't understand them and ultimately these people always lose or achieve something very little (like explicit lyrics warnings on rap cds) and there's no reason to really worry about any of it.
anyway, i do not think you can pick and choose about thing you champions in the name of freedom of speech. it's not like this is some grand struggle or anything, but it should all-applicable; that's the point! even if stuff like manhunt is really shallow and just worthless beyond STAB THIS GUY IN THE CORNEA WITH A BALLPOINT PEN, i can't really make myself not care about it. it's not like i care about manhunt existing so much as i think it's pretty obviously within their rights to make, garbage or not. like i think the concept is reasonably well defined as it is! i feel like it shouldn't matter whatsoever what you're defending because it's universal and it wouldn't work if rockstar's overly violent, stupid games had any less than something legitimately worthwhile. it would be infinitely overbearing if it didn't apply to almost absolutely everything, i think.no, you understand me right and all i can really say is that it's just a difference of opinion. it's always been my belief that things fall beyond the grasp of freedom of speech that either have no intended redeeming value, or if the intended value of the work is something senselessly offensive or damaging. things like bigotry already are accepted as falling beyond the protection of freedom of speech, and it's my belief that completely aimless, overly graphic depictions of violence(murder for the sake of murder) in media doesn't deserve any more respect in this regard.
i mean maybe i am misinterpreting what you're saying but aside from its literal meaning, i wouldn't even be too comfortable with any person ascribing some arbitrary standards of what freedom of speech is.
well, i hate most gamers, too. they're shitheads and all that but it just seems like he has an inordinate amount of hate for them even going beyond the fact that they're irritating as hell. it is like there has been some traumatic experience in his past involving gamers.come on now, are you honestly asserting that complete rejection of gamer culture is unhealthy? likening this stance to emotional scarring is as good as calling it emotionally unhealthy. i think that's a bit much, to be honest. i find it refreshing to see people that have absolute zero patience for the gaming status quo. again, that's just me.

Sweet! Now that that bastard is gone, nothing is going to stop my diabolical plan to release 5 seperate "E rated" games that reveal illicit footage of a pornographic nature by entering the correct cheat code at the start menu.

I dunno in either case I think it's pretty disturbing that my primary form of entertainment as a kid now includes stuff like Manhunt
I'm surprised people our age aren't like weird fundamentalist video game people who want to go back to the good old days when games were all clean and nice - even the SNES Final Fantasy people don't really seem to give a shit
Well I was going to mention those but I figured you guys wouldn't be huge faggots about it and realize I meant games we actually would have played like Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt Legend of Zeldas etc. etc.
Please define that "gamer culture" you all seems to hate cause I'd like to know where you draw the line between, you know, a guy that plays games and the embarrasing side of that culture.
I have the perfect word: Gamopheliac
Seriously, though, I'm not surprised and I laugh at Jack! But then again, it's never great to laugh at anothers misfortune. I was expecting this. It's a conspiracy.
Anyway, I don't need to explain in detail why stupid games like Manhunt should be tolerated unquestioningly (more or less). I think you and I probably agree that while it's garbage, it doesn't actually have a big influence over very many people, yet any resistance will result in the contrary of what you want to achieve, and it's bound to pass as nothing more than a curiosity for a select audience anyway.
what the fuck. I dont have SEETHING CONTEMPT for and have not been emotionally traumatized by gamers. I just think gamer culture is embarrassing and terrible and I like trolling.its ok.... let it out. maybe your stepdad just sits around the house all day playing games instead of getting a job??
We need a word for video game fanatics. We have otaku and japfag for the extreme anime fans and cinemaphile for the people who dedicated their lives to the study of crusty old films but GAMER is an all encompassing word that carries both neutral and negative weight to it.
Come on guys, think of something. Change the future of pop culture, okay?
I don't know if I could write a definition for it if I tried. If you really want to get an idea of what I'm referring to then just watch a bunch of those youtubes of people that responded to gamesmasterjasper's semper games videos. That's what I think of when I think of gamers and gamer culture and those people have forever ruined video games for me.Speaking of which, I kind of missed the whole GMJ thing. Is there a summary on the entire SAGA anywhere? If not then Chef/someone you've got some writing to do (go down in gaming history...)
i think you could probably figure out some kind of exponential curve based on cash spent on videogames.
less than 50 bucks you aren't even on the scale, approaching 400 puts you in gamesmaster territory.

i meant 400 american dollars not 400 australian racist bux.
also webcomics and 4chan is good but i still think you could do it with just money. i meant 400 bucks a month fyi, not TOTAL because you could probably hit that in a year and not realize it.
