Uh-oh.

Uh-oh. Sanders' campaign may not be so pristine after all. I get it, Unions are where your bread and butter are, but lying and cheating your way into a Union event in order to campaign is a little devious, in my opinion. Why couldn't they have just hung out at the hotel bars or somewhere equally likely to be frequented by Union members and then network their way to the Union leadership? It's not that hard.

I don't think that Sanders can control all of his supporters. Did this action come from his campaign or is it something his supporters brainstormed outside of it?

Nicolas DeWolfe That is a good question, but the opposition is, of course, going to claim that Bernie said to do it. And that narrative will stick in the minds of people who don't know enough about how these things work. It's unfortunate.

I'd blame this on the individual supporters unless something came up where it looked like he sent the order. Otherwise this is a non-story.

Oh, I agree whole heartily. Sanders, like any candidate, isn't micromanaging his supporters and these guys could be acting on their own accord.

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
