You do know that every single response you've made to
these is being compiled, including inciting people to
commit suicide? I'm fairly certain that's illegal too
but then again I don't have 30 years of practice with a
diploma mill law degree signed in crayon.

Allow me to make this very clear to all in the
so-called "gaming community"
who continue to email me for the purpose not of
sharing information or
engaging in civil conversation but for the sole
purpose of harassing me,
with garbage like the below email:
In Florida we have a cyber-stalking law. There are
federal statutes as well
that prohibit what many of you are doing to me.
Some of you have emailed me
and threatened to kill me. How interesting that you
claim that I have
infringed on YOUR First Amendment rights. Your lack
of courtesy and your
utter lack of reflection prove my and others' points
about the corrosive
effects of the games.
I am warning all of you whom I have not invited to
communicate with me after
an initial contact by you that I shall consider any
further emails from you
as violative of my rights and violative of the
aforementioned criminal
statutes.
There is nothing more hypocritical than a bunch of
gamer thugs who harass me
and threaten me all in the name of "freedom of
expression."
I have a constitutional right to talk, at the
Senator's request, to the
staff of Senator Clinton. I did that. I have a
right to point out that
Electronic Arts is engaged in a knowing conspiracy
with the "mod community"
(what's next, "a pedophile community"?) to
distribute porn to children. Any
of you who don't think that is what EA is doing need
to get a law degree and
practice for 30 years, as I have. Then I'll be
interested in your
"opinions" about The Sims 2 scandal.
If you videogaming thugs don't like what I do, then
get off your rear ends
and talk to the media, talk to your representatives,
and write articles for
your Internet game news sites. Don't flood my email
inbox with your
petulant tirades which are neither welcome nor
productive.
All they do is encourage me in my knowledge that
normal people who have a
right to stop predatory video game companies'
practices are going to succeed
in protecting children from those practices.
Honestly, some of you email me
and threaten me because you say "You want to ban all
video games." That is
reflective, by and large, of the perspicacity of the
typical threatening
emails I get. Such people don't want facts. They
want an argument. They
want to treat me as if I were some punching bag
prostitute in GTA. I've had
it with this. I am going to stop it.
We won the "Hot Coffee mod" battle, and we shall win
other battles. If any
of you clowns are still dumb enough to threaten me
and harass me after
receiving this email, then contact your lawyers.
You're going to need them.
