Tim over at Ctrl-Alt-Del gives us a report about a gamer taking his life. While that's sad, what bothers me about this entire business is that Mr. Jack Thompson uses the situation to once again push his agenda that "Gamers need to get a life." What he fails to pay any attention to since he can't see beyond the end of his own nose is that the admin of the gaming sites in question went out of their way to contact Mitchell S. and attempt to talk him out of the attempt. While they were unable to do so, the attempt was made. Even Mr. Thompson says that gamers need to "All of you gamers need to put down the controllers and get a life."
Funny how he missed that this is exactly what they did. Imagine that.
Seems like once again that Mr. Thompson is the one who needs to "put down the controllers and get a life."
