reports a lawsuit against FaceBook was filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of Florida by former attorney Jack Thompson, who seeks
$40 million in damages because FaceBook failed to remove postings about him from
their social network. Thompson, a lightning rod for angry gamers for a history
of litigation similar to this latest suit (oh the irony), is the subject of
several FaceBook groups expressing their hatred for him and his behavior, with
some of them offering threats, both frivolous (Jack
Thompson should be smacked across the face with an Atari 2600) and
potentially serious (a removed post apparently said "If someone can get a video
clip of themselves punching Jack Thompson in the face I'll PayPal them $50.").
Thanks
Slashdot. In other JT-related news,
GamePolitics reports he has filed a complaint against the president-elect of
the Florida Bar for making a disparaging remark about a judge on her personal
blog. This is similar to one of the charges that got Thompson disbarred, and
there is speculation he is trying to get a precedent set (or broken) to
highlight the unfairness of how he's been treated.
