After reading several things which Jack Thompson wrote, it seems that he lacks a coherent argument, and resorts to ass kissing and name calling more than half of the time.
In the scanned letter, he refers to Penny Arcade as "an extortion ring," a "bunch of computer geeks," and repeatedly spews "facts" about the gaming industry which have yet to be proven. To my limited knowledge, Rockstar Games has not publically admitted that GTA:Vice City is some sort of combat simulator which prepares youth to overthrow authority. Hell, the game has very little bearing on reality from what I have seen.
Lets face it, this letter was designed to have maximum effectiveness with the police, not a third party. He doesn't seem to be bothered by this alleged harrassment, instead, his letter seems to be a vengeful attack on Penny Arcade.
This guy needs to do some research and forget about whatever it is that motivates his attack on "violence." Whether he is after money, political power, or a place in history is not certain, but there is clearly an ulterior motive to his attack on the gaming industry.
