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

We get all upset if people talk bout Islam with all the current events in the middle east and the talking heads say we must be sensitive, but when it comes to these guys it's no holds barred grudge match attack. Why is that?
They were seriously dangerous for their size. Thankfully the church appears to be dying fairly quickly.
Tell me how you feel about Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
The accusations are pretty outlandish and the settling federal crimes out of court just is about as dumb as you can get. The FBI did raid the places, but as far as I can tell from the Wiki, that is the only substantial fact.
I just don't see why so many people have such a irrational hatred of these people for what they believe in and how they live their lives.
I know that you as a socialist, respecting the civil liberties of others doesn't go with you belief set, but you are in America so give it a try.
