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

Oh, and they forgot Ghostbusters, the Everlasting Gobstopper, and Christopher Walken.
Was an awesome cat.

The LOTR thing is just a means to attract the youth with their own terminology. Werewolves were added, no doubt, because of those stupid glossy vampire/werewolf films that wanted to be the new Harry Potter. They'd go after The Hunger Games too, but it features bows, arrows, and hunting... which these people are actually quite fond of.
