Jack Thompson Faces Sanctions Hearing Today in Miami

I suspect his submissions to the court (post-2nd lawyer reg) will already bring such a charge...

"The level of maturity shown in these comments has declined significantly since persons started actually calling J.B.T. on the stuff he was pulling. The comments of the persons posting here has gotten significantly less and less mature and more and more full of the diatribe that they regularly knock "Jack" for and call him on."

That's been going on since the live journal days. The only changes now are that there's less posts in general, so they stand out more, and people are laughing at and mock Jack rather than swearing at him.

One, what we must all realize is that "Jack" is NOT going to prison. He has not (Yet) broken any laws in particular that would warrant prison time. We can cease those comments right here and right now.

True, although at the rate he's going, he just may manage to get himself locked up as a danger to self or others.

Two, what you must ALL realize is that this is a man's livelihood on the line here. So before you all line up to stone the man, make sure you recognize that fact. While I bare no sympathy for "Jack" - and no, his charging practically every video game journalist with Racketterring and Influencing Corrupt Organizations (AKA: RICO) did not help considering I am a video game journalist, I also recognize that he is a human and still has the rights to be treated as one.

Yes, we realize this. However he's in danger of losing his law liscense due to his on corruption and incompetance, as such, it's no reason to treat him better than he deserves. Unfortunately for Jack, his treatment of others and general actions means that he doesn't deserve to be treated with much respect. Indeed, the only reason he should get treated with any politeness and common curtesy is that fact that people generally hold themselves to a higher level of behavior than Jack calls for.

Three, We don't like "Jack". Let's get that out the way. Not on a person on this site likes "Jack". But show decency enough to atleast use mature comments to assail the man, not cheap petty ones.

Fair enough, although personally I just prefer to mock him. He's made himself the fool, so I see no particular reason not to laugh at him.

Reap what ye shall sow. 

His infantile tirades are coming back to bite him in the ass.  He profited unduly from his criticism of gaming, now his unorthodox tactics are landing him in trouble I really couldn't give a shit about his 'livelihood'.  He'll do as he always does and live off his wife / Fox News / ANYONE who will give him a modicum of attention.

Cannot wait to see JUST how much his punishment will hurt him.

Tell you what, Papa Midnight, when Jack begins treating other human beings in a non-condescending manner, I'll begin treating him with the respect and dignity another human being deserves.

As far as his livelihood being taken from him goes, I don't give a damn and I have no sympathy for Jack.  When a person becomes a lawyer, they have a code of conduct to abide by as set forth by the Bar.  Violation of that (especially repeated and egregious violations) should have the expected consequences of removal from that profession.  The fact that Jack feels no remorse because he feels he's done nothing wrong only indicates that, should he keep his license, he would continue to behave in this manner.  Once again, no sympathy.  He's a blight on his chosen profession.

I will at least say though that some comments should probably not have been uttered on this site (or anywhere, for that matter).  Anyone posting death threats and the like need to be removed from the discussion.  And I did notice a number of "immature" comments above, but that really has been par for the course any time Jack shows up.

Calling him a "bully" may be giving him too much credit. A bully is one who uses their superior size and strength to confront and unfairly take advantage of a smaller and weaker opponent. Jack's more like a coward who'll wait until you're not looking and then sucker-punch.

Yeah! Don't let another fax machine bite the dust.

Really, I think asking the question (believe either Dennis or Jack) is already giving an answer. I'd rather believe a reporter who know what he's talking about, who corrects his mistakes when they're pointed out and who can show tolerance (remember Pandralisk, he tolerated him for quite a long time) rather than a second-rate lawyer who's egotistical, narsissitic, paranoid, insulting, slandering,lying and, worst of all. a fax-machine murderer and a time waster. It really isn't hard to see who's the most trustworthy.
