My first post is that of great news. News that every gamer whats to hear: Jack Thompson, infamous lawyer of Florida has been banned from law . . .for life.

You heard right. Wacko Jacko will never step in a court room as a lawyer, ever again. His ways of scapegoating, harassment, sexual misconduct came with a heavy price: The lost of his career.

He does have 30 days to repeal the disembarrment, but with his recent past and his recent run-ins with other lawyers and judges, I doubt he'll be ever to retain his job!

But alas, that is just one little war us gamers has won. There are many, and many wars of us gamers to fight, to defend that gaming is an artform and not a negative influence on America.

^Ugh, so I celebrated too soon. If it only apply to Florida, then dammit, he could still have a bit of a influence. Maybe I was a bit too happy and not look at the negatives.

With his track record and background, I don't think people will take him seriously seeing that he was disbarred for

-Sexual misconduct (he sent a judge gay porn, claiming it to be from a video game)

-Harassing witnesses, judges, lawyers, and female lawyers.

-Bodily harm

Jacko teh Wacko is no moar. Yay! Well, in Florida at least... but being disbarred certainly can't look good if you're trying to practice law somewhere else?

Videogame reviews fro FOX news.

I can see that happening. Well, shit.

Now for someone with the same agenda to take over his position, but this time be a clear, concise, not-crazy man.

Nothing makes an argument look good to the average joe like a good suit and mentally stable comments.

We need another J.T. to keep that whole side of the argument from getting even the slightest bit of respectability.

On a lighter side, there are lots of "happy disbarment" parties popping up. That means cake. Cake is good. So I guess Jacko getting fired means a slight rise in the bakery business.

You know, now that I look at it, I was being a moron. There will be another Jack Thompson in the near future, and yes, even with him not as a major influence on anti-gaming, we're still giving him attention when we even talk about his defeat.

Silly me.
