Psalm 35 - Image 1Jack Thompson gets biblical with his response to the legal action filed against him by Take-Two. Thompson allegedly contacted Ars Technica with a response to the suit. The response, addressed to gamers and gamer publications on the Internet and elsewhere, started like this:

I have been praying, literally, that Take-Two and its lawyers would do something so stupid, so arrogant, so dumb, even dumber than what they have to date done, that such a misstep would enable me to destroy Take-Two. With the filing of this SLAPP lawsuit last week, my prayers are finally answered.

He went on to say that the lawsuit filed by Take-Two is "without a doubt, the single dumbest thing I have ever seen any lawyers do in my thirty years of practicing law". And here's where it gets biblical - he urged readers to read Psalm 35, a Psalm of David and for the sake of those who don't own a bible or those "who think their hands will catch on fire if they touch one," he posted some of the passages. It goes,

7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit,
which without cause they have digged for my soul.

8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares;
and let his net that he hath hid catch himself:
into that very destruction let him fall.

9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD:
it shall rejoice in his salvation.

He mentioned that the pit Take-Two has dug for itself will be clearer next week when "he strikes back." He then went on to say that "the entire Take-Two management and board will be gone on March 23 so the pit-digging comes at a very bad time." You can check out the entire statement through our link below.

We now await Take-Two's response to Mr. Thompson.
