Fax or Fiction?

And undoubtedly there will be more installments. The fax-form is completely open-ended, and it is clear that intrepid crusader "Jack Thompson" has more windmills at which he must tilt. In fact, a brilliant new chapter was dispatched on November 18, a piece that denigrated "Luther Campbell" as a "dangerous clown." How will the story develop? What new surprises await? Only novelist Jack Thompson knows for certain. But no matter what the future holds for "Miami," the map of modern literature has already been redrawn. In the information era, "fax" has acquired a secondary resonance, a connotation of hard data, practical business information, and most important, of objectivity. I say "fax"; you hear "facts." But now, with this multiple emission of literary inspiration, all that has changed. Fascinating.

    You need to get your "facts" correct. Mr. Thompson did not relinquish his law licence. He was disbarred for life for his antics, including sending pornography in a pleading. A simple Google search, or just checking the Wikipedia page will confirm this. "In July 2008, Thompson was permanently disbarred by the Florida Supreme Court for inappropriate conduct, including making false statements to tribunals and disparaging and humiliating litigants." - Wikipedia.com
