I thought I'd take a moment to share with you a story that should make gamers everywhere rejoice. <img height="388" border="0" align="absmiddle" width="460" src="http://www.gamepolitics.com/files/blogi ... ebsite.jpg" />That's right....Jack Thompson, video game's worst enemy, has been officially disbarred from practicing law. Most of the country woke up to the fact that he's a quack, and the Florida court system threw him out. From <a href="http://bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?a ... adid=92673" target="_self">Blues News</a>:<blockquote>The one-time crusading attorney has <a href="http://bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?a ... adid=91855" target="_self">threatened to take this matter to
a higher court</a>, but they post an image of
<a href="http://www.floridabar.org/names.nsf/0/0 ... enDocument">
this page</a> that indicates now that the 30-day period since the disbarment
decision has passed, John Bruce Thompson is "Not Eligible to practice in
Florida." </blockquote>Good riddance. Spotted @ <a href="http://www.bluesnews.com">Blues News</a>

He served a purpose. Now, his shoes wait for someone less inane. Future is clouded.

Not gonna stop our politicos from banning stuff, but it still helps.

He was an unknowing double agent, discrediting his own side.

His loss is ours.
