Of course we know that they aren't a particularly violent bunch, so he can use every little bit of gamer violence he gets. Which basically means, every opinionated post every gamer yelling online, every little attack on him or his side is just further "proof" of his "just fight".

That's why you shouldn't get arguments on a personal or emotional level, especially when you're the ones defending.
I totally disagree with you on this one, Anarky. I think people should speak their minds, and I don't think it was too excessive in this thread. Thompson does it backward-- he looks at violent cases for any evidence that the perpetrator liked rap music, movies or shows that contain violence, or video games that contain violence. Being that many, many young people play "violent" video games, it's an easy thing.
