Eh.... I had the same initial reaction, but upon watching the video he has tons of details about every interaction, but says nothing more than that his dog was 'basically kicked', and 'he let it go' and 'didn't say anything to that gentleman'.  He pauses every time he says the word 'kick'.  Not saying I don't believe him, but he spends a ton of time talking about how he was treated, and speeds past the parts about what happened with the dog.

If someone kicked my dog, I would have lost it.  A second time, and it's a dude?  I'm probably leaving that place in handcuffs.  Call me retarded all you want, but if you mistreat an animal, we're going to have words.  And I will be calling for a boycott, riot, hell occupy the airport.

I tend to think of the possible other side of the story; someone bumped flight after flight, during some interaction, an employee pushed the dog with her leg.  Irritating, but not enough to cause a scene.  And how was she kicked while in his lap?  Maybe during his more heated interaction, he blew the irritating moment out of proportion?  Not that I think this is what happened either, but maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle.  I don't know.  Sorry for the novel.

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
