This isn't rocket science here.

People just make assumptions, dude. Like Krang's Uncle said, we're all whiners.
I'm sure Jack would agree.
They don't seem to understand that we don't care that these people hate or detest games. We care that they are actively trying to ruin and or put enforcements on them, while at the same time spreading the stereo-type that we're all gun-totting time bombs. It's like that one PA comic, where Tycho screams "I play violent games" to get to the front of a long line. Jack Thompson can go on ranting and raving about how bad games are forever for all I care, but when he's trying to step in and get involved in things he just doesn't understand, i.e. the whole Bully incident, that's where I, as a gamer, take offense.
His ridiculous statements on Attack of the Show, as ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael pointed out, showed just how little he knows. I won't agree that he got owned by Sessler, because that guy doesn't know jack sh*t either, and pretty much came off as an angry FF fanboy, but he did make Thompson slip up on a couple occasions and show his ignorance.
