Everybody’s favorite lawyer Jack Thompson is at it again: he cancelled a debate with Penny Arcade and is now blaming them for cancelling it. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Apparently, PA was keeping the debate a secret before it would happen at PAX 07, but it was actually Thompson who revealed to Kotaku that he was going to be at the event exchanging words with the people who he threatened with the FBI.

As per the article, he declined the terms of the debate and is actually blaming PA for cancelling the debate. Oh, the craziness:

I have repeatedly emailed… Penny Arcade and told them of my willingness, from the start and now, to engage in the debate. They are the ones who canceled the debate, not I.

Their concern about “security” is absurd and a contrivance. All they have to do is limit the number of admitees to 6000… This is not rocket science. This is not going to be like the Stones at Altamonte, for Heaven’s sake. Real security, not Hell’s Angels will be providing security.

What GamePolitics or others need to do is get to the bottom of why they really wanted to announce the debate one hour before it occurs. Now THAT would cause a stampede that would not allow them to have passes in the hands of those who want to go.

I’m surprised, Dennis, frankly, that you have so naively taking this dodge. I believe what happened is that they thought I would never accept the debate offer, and they planned to use that for p.r. purposes.

Really, why is this man important again?
