A ‘Neutral’ Mansplains Neutrality Versus Being Pro- or Anti- Gamergate
Sounds like a dumb title, doesn’t it? But after the launch of a recent Gamergate associated tag, #GamerGateNeutral, and watching how many reacted to it, it seems an explanation of some basic principles is needed. (NOTE: whether the GGN tag is truly representative of neutrality in its broadest sense is up for debate. Being a […]

A Neutral Proposal for Solving the Gamer and Social Justice Culture Clash
NOTE: Harassment and ethics are issues that are important to many, but NOT the focus this post. Agendas and concerns elsewhere, please.

#Gamergate: What Does it *Mean*? And Should You Use it?
Like many writers, I find stringing words together gets my thoughts in order. I wasn’t sure I was even going to publish this… but I decided to. It’s not an academic piece. It’s not referenced, it’s opinion. It’s pretty much an unedited stream of consciousness written at 3am after a private disagreement with another writer […]

Review: Grammarly Premium, Grammar Checker
‘You’re never going to meet my standards, little boy.’ First, a confession: in order to write this review, Grammarly Inc. provided me with a free upgrade to a premium account. However, I remain unbiased for three reasons: When I attempted to use Grammarly Premium over a year ago to help proofread my novel, I gave […]
