You might have missed the satire bit. You can be sure any money raised will go to a left wing cause.

John Hardy it's Business Insider, they're not known for their satire.

They are reporting on it but they are clueless. @byyourlogic is Felix Biederman of Chapo Traphouse which is a left wing commentry and satire podcast.

It would have taken business insider two seconds to work that out but they chose not to mention it.

Who the F is @ByYourLogic and what does he have to do with this story?

Read the tweets in the article that you linked.

Also calm the F down.

John Hardy I am calmed the F down. You're bringing in information not in evidence.

Show me where, and take your time, where any tweet, other than the one credited to an unnamed woman, is part of the BI article I posted.

This tweet started it off twitter.com - FaZeObama on Twitter it's the first tweet in your linked article.

So weird. The browser I was using, Firefox Focus, didn't show any embedded tweets in this article. I had to open it in Chrome to see that.

Jason ON maybe a security feature of Firefox? They are much more restrictive / protective of your privacy than Chrome is.

Anyway I can recommend Chapo Traphouse as a good podcast even though Biederman often says the exact opposite of what he means.

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
