Obama stands here for socialist. The Brits know what that does to a country

Obama stands where for socialists? I'm confused by your statement Jerry PJ McClintic.

I am guessing that "here" means "Jerry PJ McClintic's house" in this case. But yes, we brits (with the possible exception of Gemma Worrall) definitely have a clearer idea of what socialism is and its effects than does Jerry. I may never stop being amused at the opinion of provincially-minded americans that Obama is either socialist or particularly left wing even by the standards of US politics, never mind on a global scale.  

Anyway, if this girl doesn't at least end up as a contestant on a reality TV show then there's something wrong with the system. I continue to hold that the outstanding defining feature of Twitter is that it is both a honeypot and an amplifier for moments of stupidity. No inane thought, poorly-thought-out opinion or ill-informed comment is immune. Long may it continue.

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
