Jack Thompson Is Not the Problem.

Having seen the allegation by Mr. Thompson against a 16-year-old boy from Texas, I must admit I'm flabbergasted. Not that someone made a "threatening" call to Mr. Thompson (what he considers threatening is very different from what we would consider threatening ourselves). What I'm surprised about is how GameSpot editors and readers give a man who will likely vanish from the mainstream news in a month or so (assuming they pay attention to him anymore as is) this much time. It's worth remembering that he's not a politician. He has no power in this country whatsoever, other than the ability to file frivolous lawsuits. Why the man matters to anyone is beyond my ability to comprehend. Rather than wasting your breath on Mr. Thompson, perhaps you in the GameSpot community can start writing polite, non-threatening letters to your local, state and federal government officials. They're the ones we should be concerned about, not Thompson. And, to anyone who thinks that threatening these officials will do any good, please don't. The feds will likely have you strung up silently, unlike Thompson.
