This is an email I wrote to anti-violent video game "crusader" Jack Thompson (jackpeace@comcast.net) after reading about an exchange between Jack and Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik (Gabe):
Mr. Thompson,
I find it humorous that gamers have overwhelmed your offering of $10,000 to produce a video game annually with
www.childsplaycharity.org. Frankly I think your 10K offer is quite paltry and also fairly disingenous. Truly you are a strange, small, and helpless man obsessed with an idiotic quest based on a ridiculous theory. Zealots like you do not help your causes but serve merely to distract from whatever worthy cause that you would donate the 10K to in any case.
Additionally it is repugnant to actually call someone and scream at them (Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade) when you are supposed to be championing the cause of nonviolence. "jackpeace" indeed sir? Feel free to call and scream at me too if you find it theraputic.
Sincerely,
(I redacted my name address and phone number here)
I don't know if you should email him or not with your feelings on the issue as I do beleive that his email box is broken fromt he overwhelming response already sent.
I will let you know if he actually calls or emails.
