    Well it only makes sense. Once all the media hype dies down from his disbarment, he'll have no platform on which to scream and shout about how "evil" video games are. It's the only logical -- or illogical -- thing left for him to do! After all, we all know he's not going to just give up on his crusade. He's got John Walsh syndrome, only with a much, MUCH less noble cause!
    
    Do you ever get the idea that maybe this guy had a bad dream as a child about being ass-raped with an Atari joy-stick? Maybe someone should look into the idea of re-experience therapy for Dear Old Uncle Jack....

      According to ED, he was molested by a Sega Genesis at a young age, I do believe. That might explain something, but I don't know for sure.

        Yeah, at least the Atari would have played a game of Pong with him afterward. I've heard that Genesis never even offered a reach-around or cab fare home to its victims. Probably a large contributor to the problem.

        Yeah.... They still play grabass as far as I know though. I don't know if I'd want to know more than that though.

Rushes With Zerg

Dont worry, I was thinking the same thing. He's my mortal enemy and all... and I vow if I see him I will find a real slow, painful, spur of the moment to make it look like an accident way to be rid of his ass...

But then again, no one really knows, nor cares about him. Which if you think of it, makes him a real threat. He gets no real recognized press coverage except by the gaming community when he does something stupid or insane... which in turns means he could run for president or congress, and people without knowing the dangers could vote for him, and thus would end our virtual world as we know it...

And I think I just scared myself shitless....

    Not even that... he'd be like "DESTROY ALL VIDEO GAMES... MELEE!"
    
    (shudders) Sometimes I just have to wonder where my mind wonders and how the hell it comes back with those kind of scenarios...

Oh good. It's about time somebody saw through his crap and did something about it.

He wont stop though. Before litigating videogames, good old JD had a reputation for harrasing and just generally pulling shit on whatever half-baked opinion on an issue he had that day. Anecdotes from a psych at a former job of his indicated several serious "mental flaws" about him.
