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
Comments
yea, I have been having that issue too. Its only if they add something super profound to the post do i consider resharing.
But yeah, I don't feel like staring at a person on a soapbox and hanging on their every word in meatspace or online. They aren't that interesting, regardless of who they are.
There are some celebs I follow and comment on and even though they done react sometimes their followers do, and there is engagement. That is why I'm here. Not to be pedagoged at.(sic)
Good social interaction isn't only about chatting IMHO.
😇
It sucks because he's a Buzzer and I don't like uncircling Buzzers.
Thomas Tenkely, I've done that before and the person getting called out usually jumps straight to victimhood, denial or some explanation on how they don't have time to moderate comments all the time.
Roberto is busy at google at the moment.
Got to say..I am a bit surprised at your stand on this. He has only closed discussion on some of his posts and it has only been a very few days.
He is too busy to deal with trolls.
He is more than a Buzzer..do you even know what his job is?

A: that a person can't tell if they are circled (in the new UI).
B: that the "how can comment" settings are broken when set.
I apologize to you as it seems I got it all wrong and thank you for coming here to address the commenting situation.

It's quite difficult to test.
So time to stop using Following for folks I want to comment.
G+ is hard.
I have been getting occasional "comments disabled"..usually on more potential "hot topics".
Sometimes I have shared things that I thought people might be interested in, but I close comments because for whatever reason I just don't have the ability to participate in or moderate conversation.
I try to be vigilant about keeping abusers under control. A lively discussion or disagreement is one thing..I will not allow people to try to damage each other on my threads.
