Byzantine Owns Jack Thompson

Published 11.19.2005 by jm | E-mail this post

Jack Thompson, as many know, is the anti-gaming crusader, who just may have dug his own grave. After releasing his book "Out of Harms Way," Byzantine uploaded a "user contributed image" of a girl vomiting. Thompson, then angry with several negetive comments, threatened Amazon. This is his threat:

I have just checked at approximately 1:30pm Saturday, November 19, and I find at least 33 negative reviews that violate your own rules. In fact, more of them have been posted AFTER you sent me the below email promising they would be blocked. If these ALL of these reviews which violate your own "review rules" are not down from your Amazon.com site by 7:16 pm Sunday, November 20, then I shall have to proceed accordingly...

Slashdot thus wrote an article about it, and an avalanche of anti-anti-gaming enthusiests came together and "defaced" his Amazon reviews and images. His book has thus received a larger bad review-ratio than any book ever published on Amazon. A constant streme of "one star" ratings came. Similarly, people have been adding his book to "additional recommended reading" lists for such books as "Irish BDSM Library" and "Islamic Homosexualities," and have recommended that if you like this book, then you will also like "Anal Pleasure And Health."

Here are some of my favorite reviews, each is seperated by paragraph:

Okay, politics aside I managed to obtain a copy of this book and I have to say it's just not up to par. It's clearly rushed to catch in on Jack's 15 minutes of fame before it sizzles away. The writing, if it is Mr. Thompson who wrote it, falls flat. It fails to balance information with opinion in a manner that keeps the reader interested. Bottom line: I don't care which side of the argument you're on this book isn't worth reading. Save your time and money.

This book is the equivalent of a pile of feces and it is supposed to be sold to retarded monkeys.

This book is shabily penned, and obviously rushed out of the door. Its a clear grab at money while his fame still remains. He makes himself out to be a pearly-white crusader for justice, but he's just out for a quick buck.

If you like murdering little puppies than you will love this book! Ax murderers and serial killers alike will take ques from this wonderfully deragned book. Enjoy the life and times of this anti-bill-of-rights author that showers his reader with psycopathic rhetoric. A must read if you plan on being a dictator or child abuser. Two thumbs up

Jack Thompson is an malinformed idiot lawyer who is looking to only further his career by riding the "Video games make children kill" platform.

If the human body was never exposed to ailments, it would be impressivly vulnerable to the slightest cold. If our country was never exposed to hacking, it would be oppressivly vulnerable to cyber terrorism. With out the creation of a malicious hacking, Afganistan could have destroyed America's economy with a ping flood. This is why I encourange maclicious hacking, as an ethical practice. Without strengthening our defenses, we are weak. This site is focused on security through knowledge. I detest the fact that so many companies are being exploited because malicious hackers know their security holes before they do. For that reason, I hope to educate where the exploits lay. This isn't a 100% information base, as I only publish things I have been able to implement on myself. No credit is needed anywhere . However if you are a publisher, I would appriciate credit. I am an advocate of open source, so copy and paste and call it your own if you like. If my work is good enough for you to plagerize then that is my biggest compliment . If my work is good enough, I will be approached and asked to write more ... this is natural selection of the digital age .
