Frick, dude, I didn't read what you said before I watched the video and I thought it was some dude filming his dog attack a tortoise. I was sitting there frozen, waiting for the horrendousness to begin.
Frederica Mussolini nope. This was Rufus when we went to Florida for my grandma's funeral in 2006 ish. He was young and goofy and couldn't quite figure out the turtle. I didn't have my camera on when he smacked his face on the first one he saw.
Jason ON great that you have the video to look back on, do you have any more of Rufus?
Wish now I had some of my dead pets. Have a few of my Quaker parrot knew 60 + words but she would get pissed off if I brought out my phone. I think she was jealous of it.
Jason ON fair enough. I have a video taken of me burying my dog in our back yard 7 years ago and I still can't watch it. All those feels would come back and I've shut the door on those now.
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
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

Hope you're OK.
