    We all get to decide because we’re responsible for our actions. I should always ask if I’m using or abusing a service and if it’ll negatively impact others. Or I don’t and I run the risk of running things into the ground and losing a good thing for everyone.

      Oh if only you had bothered even opening up the article. literally the second line:
