Failure to Communicate?

By
For those of you paying attention I've been fulfilling a contract on a local AF base with the Family Readiness Center.  I was asked by the NOC in the office to call a list of family members of deployed soldiers and airmen whom the center did not have email addresses for and invite them to a Deployed Family Event this Friday and if possible to get their email addresses as well.

Okay.

As it turns out, the deployed family event is NOT open to all.  Many of the contacts I have are for the parents of deployed service members and therefore do not have dependent ID cards and the deployed family event is making no arrangements to have them sponsored on post for the dinner.

I was kind of dumbfounded at this lack of pre-planning especially after I called and either left messages for or spoke with about 20 people who may come.  And then the NCO explained how he was not sending out an email RSVP confirmation to the registered family members  who have already said they would show confirming the date, time and location of the event as well as ID card requirements.

And why are they hosting an event for family members of deployed service members on post knowing some might be able to attend due to these requirements?

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
