Jack Thompson is a cockbite

Why yes, it has indeed been some time since I posted about one of the people I hate most on the earth. This is not due to his lack of stupid actions, this is simply due to the fact that he does them so often, it isn't really entertaining anymore. However, he has recently done some things that I thought were quite interesting, even for Jack Thompson.

It all started when he E-mailed Wikipedia demanding (not asking) them to lock his Wikipedia entry because it contained:

"a number of false, defamatory, and actionable statements about me. As an aside, you all don't even have my date and year of birth correct, and it goes downhill from there."

Now, admittedly, I can understand his anger and his response. Wikipedia is the most popular Wiki on the internet and could have possibly had some false information. However, he takes it a bit too far when he continues that he demands he has access to:

"the real names, addresses, and phone numbers, and any other verifying information, regarding anyone who has posted anything about me at Wikipedia, as they will be defendants. You have thirty days to comply with this demand. The Seigenthaler experience shows that you must provide me this information."

He is potentionally asking to have hundreds if not thousands of people brought to court as defendants with this. However, it does not end there!

He has now sent Game Politics (One of my favorite sites out there) an E-Mail saying:

From: Jack Thompson [mailto:xxxxxxxxx@comcast.net]

Subject: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You're next, Mr. McCauley

Dennis McCauley responds quite aptly by saying:

I can say that I resent the hell out of its implications and that neither this site nor its editor will be bullied or silenced.

It can also be noted that several game websites including Gamespot and TwitchGuru were CCed on that E-Mail so it will be interesting to see how this turns out. My disdain for this idiot is well known and therefore I will not say anything other than what is above.

As an interesting coincidence, I happen to be wearing my favorite T-Shirt today:
