Attorney Jack Thompson has responded to Dr. David Walsh's open letter which asked the attorney to stop using his name and his foundation's name, National Institute on Media and the Family, in correlation with Thompsons' campaigns against video games.
Thompson responded with what could be considered a character defamation campaign, "Dr. Walsh's efforts are funded by Target and by a foundation run by Best Buy lawyer and Best Buy Director Elliot Kaplan," Thompson wrote, later adding, "I am suing Target and Best Buy over the Bully game, which both Target and Best Buy are pre-selling. You connect the dots."
Thompson also claims that he never used NIMF's name to support his actions stating, "The fact is, I have never suggested that Dr. Walsh approves of what I do. I have countless times told people that I believe he is an expert about the dangers of video games. The mistake I made, apparently naively, is in thinking that a person of his expertise would use it actually to help some bereaved families rather than choose to protect his relationship with portions of the video game industry and its reckless retail network."
Later in his response, Thompson proved Dr. Walsh's point that he uses personal attacks, "A child psychologist who would give a heads up to Doug Lowenstein in such a matter without confronting me directly man-to-man is a person who has lost his way, in more ways than one. He is the latest casualty in an escalating war started by a reckless industry whose socipathic poster child is Paul Eibeler. Dr. Walsh has now cast his and his efforts, whether wittingly or unwittingly, with him."
Way to prove the man correct.
