Jack Thompson v. Tom Buscaglia?

I think this is an interesting article that i believe you and your readers (myself included) should know about.
gamepolitics.com/ Scroll down to Hey - a Florida Attorney Who Loves Games!
We just got an email from someone claiming to be Jack Thompson stating "Just tell me where and when."
I think he might be upset about a certain question and answer from Game Cloud:
Gamecloud - Right now the game industry is under attack by certain people and groups about the content of their games. How do you feel about these attacks in your profession as an attorney?
Thomas H. Buscaglia - I think that Jack Thompson is sort of like the Organ Grinder's monkey without the Organ Grinder. He is just dancing around for attention and doesn't seem to have much concern for whether what he is saying is true or not, he just wants people to listen to him. I think the really sad thing about him is that he has been pretty much a laughing stock in the Legal Community in South Florida for years since he was back attacking 2 Live Crew and anybody else that he doesn't think meets his standards as far as Pop Culture. But frankly the main thing that does bother me about Jack Thompson is that anybody listens to him at all.
That is not to say that everything in games is good but certainly everything in games isn't bad and there are no pedophile cookies in the Sims. I have had a couple of people ask me if I would debate him and I suppose I would, but I wouldn't bother to call him and set it up.

Having met Thomas on many occasions. I think he could kick Jack's ass in a straight fight. That man is a house.
