I don't normally actively troll someone but I just did. This woman made an incoherent argument and when I asked her how she was contributing to the conversation she simply reiterated her argument and called me an idiot. I told her her argument was the equivalent of just going to posts and commenting "popcorn" for all the benefit she was bringing to the conversation. She then told me "America doesn't need people like me" and I could move to Mexico or somewhere else. So, I went to her Profile and typed "popcorn" on all her posts until she blocked me.

Yes, it was a little fun. Yes, it was a waste of time. No, I'm not going to miss her. She was kind of an idiot. Sad part is, we were on the same side policy-wise, but she couldn't make a rational point. Nor was she very good with the written word. We all make the occasional mistake - hell, I do - but she didn't know the difference between there, they're and their or you're and your. I'm just surprised she didn't confuse too, two and to, as well.

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
