I'm sorry, but I'm proud of this...

As some of you are probably already tired of hearing, I do a blog called "Lag-O-Rama", devoted to MMORPG's. Last week, I did a post on the topic of violent videogames leading to increased aggression in young people, and how a prestigious psychiatric journal had found that this conclusion had no basis in fact.

To make a long story short, after I took a jab at him, Jack Thompson himself left a comment, explaining how I was wrong. And now Jeff Freeman (former SWG dev, who has for some reason become a regular reader of my blog) has responded to him.

The long and short of it is this...I sleep better each night, knowing I may have helped push Jack that one small step closer to a seizure.

The post on my blog: Videogames breed violence? DON'T MAKE ME HIT YOU!!!

And for those who don't know who Jack Thompson is: Captain Happypants Himself

His Wikipedia entry is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(attorney) , which for some reason won't work as a link. Probably because I'm too damn tired to be doing this at the moment.

(BTW, I figure there's a decent chance it's him...the ip address that comment came from originated in...Coral Gables, Florida. Jack's hometown.)

Nice blog.

Reminds me of a thread on these forums. :roll:

It makes me angry when people go off and only cheery pick studies and reports that seem to support their own bias and ignore all the rest.
