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

Do you even know what ICANN is? This article is about the U.S. relinquishing its ICANN oversight.
yes I do, and I believe the DNS naming should be controlled privately. THe problem is obama wants to hand over control to his billionaire buddies. do you have any idea how valuable dns control is on the internet?! but the way which he presented the article was false, and that's what i was correcting, not the article itself. Ted cruz doesn't want to stop it because he doesn't have faith in the free market. he wants to stop it because of the crooked way the rights are being handed off.
Isn't that called capitalism?
no fair free market capitalism is good.... what he's doing is Cronyism. He's rigging the game instead of letting the game play itself. The free market when left alone always adjusts correctly.
But hey! if you want to take offense where none was given, feel free.
