"I feel that my family and I are more at risk from gamers than we are from the outlaw motorcycle gangs who also hate me and are running a candidate against me," Michael Atkinson said on ABC TV's Good Game.
Atkinson says that a gamer slipped a "threatening note" under his door early one morning.
"The outlaw motorcycle gangs haven't been hanging around my doorstop at 2 a.m.," he said. "A gamer has."
Atkinson is perhaps almost as famous for playing loose with the facts in his colorful proclamations (http://kotaku.com/5465085/australias-anti+r18%252B-game-rating-attorney+general-sees-fake-people) as he is for his singular stance against the introduction of an R18+ rating for video games.
