I love it when you're having a debate with someone and they give you their last jabs before blocking you or deleting the thread.

Isn't that right, +greg laden? Who apparently blocked me because I said even Nazi's have a right to free speech. I wondered why I wasn't getting notifications of being plus-tagged.

Free speech means listening to those points of view you disagree with. "I may not like what you have to say, but I will defend your right to say it."

I really wish I could +him but I can't. Oh, well.

He is petitioning against a blog. Having a blog is not making anyone listen to you. Having a blog is a having a platform to express your ideas. And people have to come find your blog, you don't get to force it upon anyone.

Either you believe people have a right to speak their minds or you believe people only have a right to speak their minds when you find it agreeable.

I am an American. I've read the Constitution and Amendment I does not make any distinction distinctions between what kinds of speech are acceptable and what kinds are not. So, unless they are inciting violence or otherwise breaking the law, they have a right to express their opinions no matter how much the rest of us don't like it.

You know, much like Rick Santorum.

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.

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
