He's getting plenty of publicity from the likes of Fox 'News', so turning a blind eye while they're describing him as a 'School Shooting Expert' is handing him a victory. The idea behind not feeding the trolls is if ignored, they go away. Thompson is not a troll, he's a fanatic, and a dangerous one at that, and he isn't going anywhere. It's important his rants don't go unanswered. Seconded, Jason.

I think people need to hear this crap and make a decision to push back if they don't buy it. By ignoring it your letting stiffs like Jack "ass" Thompson get away with this at his leisure anytime something happens. Every individual is accountable for their actions and video games should not be blamed when something like this happens. These individuals were obviously mentally ill and should have been looking for help instead of a gun. Video games in my opinion are relaxing and help us vent and relieve stress. They don't cause shootings. http://thegamejunction.blogspot.com I disagree with JC. I think people need to hear this crap and make a decision to push back if they don’t buy it.

A total ban on attention is required. Don't feed the troll, and all that. However much I agree, giving this shit the oxygen of publicity and attention in posts like these is not going to help.
