I thought about calling this page "...and the Horse You Rode in On," considering how often I've been told you-know-what.

My response to that? If you cannot support your opinion, surrender it.

Below are links to a series of Trek essays I've written. They are opinionated and infuriating—in large part because I'm invariably correct, and those of differing perspectives hate being forced to slink away, having abandoned their stances in the face of superior logic and rhetoric.

And now that I've got you all riled up ... here are the collected rants I've chosen to repost. I'm sure there's something in here to offend, or at least irritate. If not, email me and I'll compose one specifically designed to piss you off.
