And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had

To follow up, consider reading Penny Arcade, VG Cats and Ctrl+Alt+Del. Don't miss out on the news articles they have as well; they provide some pretty neat snippets about Jack himself.
But there's one thing we as gamers should NOT do.
And that's to send him death threats, or to imply in ANY WAY, any form of harm and/or harrassment. That will only fire him up more, and cause him to continue his campaign against games and gamers in general. Remember, in HIS eyes, we are idiots who are not as intellectually advanced as he is. Where many of us actually are, there are some who actually have college degrees, and some are lawyers themselves, thank you.
Don't pull us down because you want to "get back" at Jack Thompson. One thing is for sure, IT IS NOT WORTH IT. I know some of you may want to kill him, but won't that just prove his point even further? Stop with the threats or the degratory terms. So he's old, but he IS an attorney and enjoys a certain degree of legal immunity.
He mentioned that we have lost this war; Apparently, if we had really lost the war, he wouldn't still be fighting. Which means somewhere, we're doing something useful. But adding oil to Jack Thompson's fire won't help OUR cause one bit.
Remember, it's not about you as an individual gamer.
It's about ALL OF US as gamers.
Let's work together now, shall we?
The counter-offensive to Jack Thompson has already begun and is on the roll (you can find many more links on Jack Thompson and the current "Holy War" in the article). On the Penny-Arcade forums, the community members have started a movement to contact the FBA, or Florida Bar Association, with regards to Mr. Thompson's conduct in the last few weeks. Their contact number ([+1]866-352-0707) has been inundated with calls all day, receiving constant complaints about Jack Thompson. I encourage everyone else to do the same. (thanks to Imran)
But with my sky-rocketing phonebill, I've passed on the phonecalls, but instead sent proper people (basically the Annenberg Political Fact Check) a letter via email regarding Jack Thompson's apparent (and rather obvious) idiocy. Now all of you can chip in too, if you feel obliged or angered enough.
Since games and gaming is my life, literally, I'm extremely angered and upset with him, I'm taking this situation seriously. He's taking things too far and he has to be stopped. I don't expect anyone else to participate in this movement, honestly, but if all of us as gamers stand up against him as a mature community instead of the "omgwtf die you mofo DIE" sort, we might actually win this "war" he said we "lost".
After all, isn't teamwork part of games?

You might be living in my neighbourhood, or some other town or country far away. I don't know. And neither do you, at this point.
Wherever you are, I know I'll find you... if you don't find me first.
It's just a matter of time.
