Jack Thompson Sues Facebook

http://www.pcworld.com/article/17293...k_for_40m.html

Quote:

A long-time critic of the video game industry has sued Facebook for US$40 million, saying that the social networking site harmed him by not removing angry postings made by Facebook gamers.

Quote:

In his court filing, Thompson says he's been harassed ever since the 60 Minutes episode. His house has been shot at, his car vandalized, and he's had "sex aid devices sent to his home." At night, he has to take his phone off the hook to keep from being awakened by angry callers.

Well Jack, If you weren't such a wanker this kind of thing wouldn't happen to you. :haha:

Jack's biggest problem right now is that he has become irrelevent and he cant stand it.

Say, now that he has been banned from lawyering, does he have a right to represent himself in court?

Wasn't he always irrelevant? Sure there was noise about his BS, but that was just bread and circus, right?

Well yea but he was in the news, a common topic of discussion, held an attourney's license, so not entirely irrlevant.

Now... not so much.

In fact this is the first time I have heard his name mentioned since they stripped his license.

I don't think you can ban a person from representing himself.

Since he is under court order to specifically not practice law I'm not so sure.

Jack Thompson is worse. Facebook actually serves a purpose other than glorifying itself.

If I remember the Judge's order correctly , He can't file cases with the court or practice as a lawyer - I'm pretty sure he can only work through another lawyer.

I wonder if he used an obscene picture book for his filing like he did with the Florida Supreme court :D
