Judge Spanks Jack Thompson for Including Gay Porn with Court Filing (Batjack!)
Game Politics ^ | 26 September 2007

Posted on 09/26/2007 12:20:30 PM PDT by burzum

The frequent video game critic, already facing professional misconduct charges from the Florida Bar which could see him stripped of his license to practice law, has outraged a U.S. District Court judge by including images of men having sex in a document filed with the court last week.
....
His Honor was not amused.

In an order issued on Monday, Judge Jordan directed Thompson to show cause as to why he should not face sanctions, including possible contempt charges. Judge Jordan wrote:

The attached exhibit, which includes several graphic images of oral and genital sex between adult males, was filed electronically in the docket in this case, without prior permission from the court…

To the extent that the other attorney’s alleged conduct is in any way relevant… there was no need for Mr. Thompson to file these graphic images in the public record. A simple reference to the website and its alleged links would have sufficed…

Through his actions, Mr. Thompson made available for unlimited public viewing, on the court’s docketing system, these graphic images.

For this reason, by October 5, 2007, Mr. Thompson shall show cause why this incident should not be referred to the court’s Ad Hoc Committee on Attorney Admissions, Peer Review, and Attorney Grievance for appropriate action.

Those familiar with Jack Thompson (formerly batjack of FR fame) know that he has often resorted to some insane legal stunts. This *might* be the craziest, though I don't know that for sure. The article is safe to read (no gay porn), but the legal filing in the U.S. District court probably is not.

I'd guess that it is pretty likely he is going to face contempt of court charges (and he'll probably sue the judge after that).

The Judge is just trying to get some “Oral in the Court!”

Maybe Jack wanted to be spanked.

"This thread is officially free of gay porn. You may continue to read the comments below without having to worry about any massive gayness rearing its ugly head. This despite the fact that I'm surrounded by lots and lots of large balls right now.

Oh, I also forgot to mention that Jack Thompson also thinks that his actions were just like the midnight ride of Paul Revere! You can’t make this stuff up!

Jack used to be my Sunday School teacher at G.P.C. in CG, FL.

He used to take us to Denny’s for breakfast.

I am proud to count myself among the FReepers that batjack threatened to sue just because I called him a total nut case. ;~))

Did he threaten to sue you if you didn't pick up the tab?

JR was absolutely correct in giving him the bounce he was the definition of TROLL.

He was given as many chances as A+bert! (Who we all loved, but not as much as Ash) :-)

JR gave him a new account each time, thus the multiple names.

I liked A+Bert, the night he was banned for good, he sent me an FReep mail saying he liked making people think. This was better than the previous 20 saying I was an Ahole. I liked the old dude sitting in his basement, drinking the cooking sherry, entertaining.

Do you remember when A+Bert lost his + and was simply A Bert? I think Jim finally restored his plus sign.

But A+Bert couldn't stand success and finally cratered for good.

It’s too bad we can’t go back and see some of the posts that he made. That would be entertainment!
