- tektalk, on 10/11/2007, -5/+18***** Jack Thompson! When he's dead, I hope he gets skull ***** by maggots, and raped by earthworms.
- DeadManWalking, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Or maybe he's scared of getting shot by all those dangerous games-players
- TwistedRonin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Aww, is poor Jackie worried he won't be in a large enough spotlight?
- futzy99, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Did he -really- tell them to "man up"?
- HunterTV, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6"For Penny-Arcade to take the position that there must be a news blackout on this strikes me and others as hypocritical to the max."
WTF is he from the Valley? What kind of lawyer talks like that? - Tunguska, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Yeah, I love how he somehow connects telling the world about an organised debate at a show under wraps with the gaming world wanting to 'freely express' violence in video games.
Jack wants us to believe, like Orwell foretold, 2+2=5. - voodooKobra, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Jack Thompson is the physical embodiment of pretentious and ignorant
- TehSwat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Lies.
He's afraid his made up stats and ***** style won't win. Because it never has. - voteforblank, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Why in the world would people give Jack 'The Ass Crack' Thompson any publicity?
- carpespasm, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2if he had a decent argument, he shouldn't need to worry about booing as he would be more concerned with winning over the very people he's trying to "save"
- n1pz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yeah he probably wanted everyone to know so he could attract publicity before the event, then stage a false physical attack at him, to make a false point about gamers being violent...
Oh wait he's far to stupid think of that.
EDIT: I can't believe I wasted the effort of thinking this up, on that worthless moron, oh well. - nigh7dagger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0@linkedlist (#6997054) said: "I fully understand why JT does not want to participate in a debate at PAX 07.
I do disagree with him, think he's just an ambulance chaser who has found an easier way to make a jerk of himself but debating at a place where he's obviously going to get booed at continuously from an extremely biased audience means going into that 'debate' would be like jumping into a pool full of sharks.
Sorry guys, as much as you may hate him he's not shying away from a 'debate', he's forseeing what would happen at such an event and acting appropriately based on it."
Which is why PA was trying to keep it under wraps. But he was complaining about exactly that.
