It would be unfair to dismiss Jack Thompson's arguments entirely, since there's no denying that the likes of Grand Theft Auto do set a bad example, and might influence a few lunatics to behave in a violent manner. The manner in which Thompson puts forward his points, however, is narrow-minded, misinformed, and childish. To be fair to the guy, he was interviewed in this month's issue of GamesTM, and he seemed far more coherent and reasonable than usual. I still think he's rather foolish, but I'm a long way from hating him.
