General Chat / Re: Jack Thompson Disbarred
« on: September 26, 2008, 08:37:30 PM »Dude's been disbarred before in Alabama.But now he's been disbarred in his home state, meaning he'd have to move to another state just to practice law. Jack would most likely be unable to do this, so he's good as disbarred.
Don't celebrate just yet; the ruling isn't effective for thirty days, and he has the option of turning into a werewolve at midnight and holding the leaders of the bar hostage. Nah, seriously, his career's toast (despite what Jack says).
Just to be clear, I don't dislike Jack for his opinions. I don't agree with them, but I believe people can think whatever they want. I just dislike how he chooses to fight his battles. He chooses to insult and demonize his enemies, instead of focusing on proving his opinion right with proof and explanations. Just look at his wikiqoutes page. He looks at everyone that doesn't subscribe to his view as the utmost evil. Even if he wasn't being serious with all his insults, he still hasn't shown any signs of competence as a lawyer. Jack could have solved his bar troubles with a simple apology, but instead, he pressed on with his hurtful words, self pity (remember when he said he all his bar trials were linked to prejudice against his Christian beliefs... in a Christian majority country?) and lack of evidence.
Leland Yee is the opposite of Jack in terms of personality: calm, humble, and nice. He keeps the video game debate clean, whether Jack turns it into a circus.
