Jack Thompson has taken his squabble with Penny-Arcade one step farther. Gamespot reports that on Friday morning Jack Thompson sent a letter to John McKay, US Attorney for the Western District of Washington, and various media outlets, saying that the site was trying "to encourage and solicit criminal harassment" in his direction.
Penny-Arcade quickly fired back with a post of their own, "He is apparently trying to sick the "Feds" on us now. I’m not sure how he imagines we are extorting him. We are not demanding he pay the $10,000 to charity. In fact we paid it for him. Case closed end of story. In my mind we were finished with him," said Gabe.
Jack Thompson almost elaborated on what he means by extortion upon Gamespot's request, stating, "Penny Arcade, by means I choose not to specify because that would be really dumb to do right now, given what will be distribution of this information, have intentionally orchestrated death threats and other harassment toward me. I'll provide the proof, some of which these folks don't know I have, to the charging authorities. That's as specific as I want to be given to whom I am ulimately speaking. I'm not as dumb as I look."
I am surprised PA didn't take that last statement and run with it.
