BTW, who, or what, was BatJack?
"BatJack" was a Fla attorney by the name of Jack Thompson, who originally burst onto the FR scene with some stuff about then US Atty General Janet Reno, none of it complimentary in the least. He later had some personal problems with JimRob, the owner of the site, and there were threats of lawsuits and the like, and "BatJack" was unceremoniously tossed from here...
I don't recall if BatJack was his chosen "handle", or if that nickname was given him by other Freepers, but by the time the dust had settled, most were in agreement that he was bats...
