I have an asshole. I have an opinion. Any questions?
I have very little patience for people online who think it is their right to disrupt, harass, and harm others purely because they can. I am talking about griefers: a term that began its life in multi-player games as a name for all the people for whom the primary source of fun was ruining everyone else’s fun.

I generally have a lot of respect for police officers. Lately, there have been a lot of questions raised regarding the use of tasers by police.
