Nah, he plays Painkiller (see Elder's Post a few topics down) Obviously he is now a violent men, trying to freeze people with his shotgun, wondering why there is no healing soul after killing them...

metadigital Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 If I were you, I would send a couple of emails to games magazines and websites describing the content and tone of your emails and his responses, and drawing attention to his bad attitude. If a man in his position is genuinely unwilling to enter into serious discussions of his views and actions, then that's a matter of public interest. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll concur, as well. Pick the enemy's weak spot: this guy is a spotlight-dweller, so anything that takes away his moral-highground in the press will hurt him the most. He's operating on the Terrorist modus agendi: he's banking on the premise that you'll get bored / disinterested (or in the case of Steve, insulted out) of the argument. There really ought to be some sort of ombudsman to adjudicate lawyers; especially those deliberately involved in self-aggrandizement to the detriment of the law they profess to serve. Then some of the true professionals might have some respect for them, as a vocation.

Ohma Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Unfortunate (and looooooooong) double-post. Florida stalking law: 784.048 Stalking; definitions; penalties.-- (1) As used in this section, the term: (a) "Harass" means to engage in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that causes substantial emotional distress in such person and serves no legitimate purpose. (b) "Course of conduct" means a pattern of conduct composed of a series of acts over a period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose. Constitutionally protected activity is not included within the meaning of "course of conduct." Such constitutionally protected activity includes picketing or other organized protests.

alanschu Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I was wondering that too. I'm surprised he didn't just put me on his ignore list. I'm sure he gets soooo many emails, he probably wouldn't even recognize me. I'll make sure to send him something at least every once in a while. I'm just being [very] optimistic, but it would be kind of cool to get a reply back from one of those places I sent an email to :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't reply by the end of this working day, I shall send him a gentle reminder. However, as my first email was intended to be mocking rather than a genuine opening of debate, I doubt he'll take it seriously and respond. I'm comfortable with that. So long as I've irritated him and taken up some of his time, I'm happy. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer: Unfortunately, being a jerk is not a crime. Girl: No, no, I wasn't finished, I'm getting to it. So I got real sick of it, and threw the television out of the window. It was mine, I can do whatever I want with it, right? Officer: As long as no one got hurt. Girl: That's what I told him. He's my ex really, but now the sicko's threatening to kill me, that's a crime, right? He's been playing those video games an awful lot. Makes him a very good shooter. Holding that controller's like holding a gun, they say in the news. You gotta help me, I fear for my life! Officer: Okay, miss, sit down for a moment and we'll take your name and address and see what we can do about it. Girl: Okay. Officer [to Max]: Did you hear that?

No jamming. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is that musicians not free-playing, or ammunitionless weapons not sticking? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Both actually! And no, no lawsuits as far as I know. I took a few days break to let him forget I exist, so that when I send stuff it'll be from a whole new person! Silently killing him unfortunately, would just make him a martyr. I'd have to put a twist on it someway that it wasn't because of his videogame crusade. Or maybe put a twist on it that it's BECAUSE of his crusader. There are theories out there in social scientists that suggest that people act out a certain role because they are told that that's the role they should be acting in. So by repeatedly stating that people that play violent video games become violent murders, could actually cause someone to think that that's the role they are supposed to play :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
