Jack insulted me in an e-mail he sent me once.
It's practically how he says hello.

it was 'Dont need your help, junior. Youre the problem'.John said:
which makes him sound like a GAF veteran actually now that i mention it.
and the tired old 'ignore him and he'll go away' argument rolls out again.
he was the media's go to guy on this. whether we ignored him or not the media loved putting a camera in his face as much as he loved having it in his face.
it was people that refused to ignore him that got him publcially exposed for what he was, and that got his teeth cut out.
not people that ignored him.
he isn't a poster on gaf, by posing about him on gaf in reaction to attention he's already been given, we aren't giving him anything that he is after. he doesn't care what we think. he doesn't care if we like him or not.
he only cares when we go and fight him on his turf and ignoring him doesn't make that happen now does it?

Actually I think the fact he was required to go and get evidence to prove he ISN'T insane speaks volumes about both his character and his actions.
Genuinely mentally ill people can be absolved of their actions due to mental illness.
Jack Thompson has a certificate proving that he can't.

I missed Jack. Based on his letter to the secretary of defence, I don't think he's ever heard of the America's Army game.

To be fair to his uh, abilities, Jack has that born ambulance-chaser's nose required to be a good media troll. He's got the instincts to be gaming's own personal, one-man 4chan. (Chant it! One Man! Four Chan! One Man! Four Chan!)
However, the extra lawls are generated by the fact that in terms of his cultural awareness, he is the posterchild for an ignorant old conservative white granpa, who likely still hasn't heard they have color televisions these days.
So whenever he constructs one of his anti-gaming arguments, it is full of these strange references and oversights, and sometimes terminology archaic even by the standards of his social peers and his generation.
Thus, he is good at making the funny.
