Oh, there's no doubt that Jack Thompson is a complete and utter tool. All he's really accomplished is lowering the debate on game violence to the level of tabloid hysterics, and ensuring gamers will be (justifiably) suspicious of critiques of game violence for years to come. The only thing I think he has right is that there's too much violence in video games. Every conclusion he's drawn from this has been simplistic and self-serving and I don't want him on my side.
