And Then I Was Blocked

By


I was blocked my Bryan Foster, whom I've been connected to since the days of Google Buzz, because he cannot handle opinions or beliefs contrary to his own.

What really annoys me is when people get their "final word" in and prevent you from responding. It's childish.

Addendum: I just went to his profile and I can still see it, so I didn't get blocked. Looks like he figured out how to lock his posts. So, this falls under: I have my opinion, and no you're not allowed to disagree with me and no we cannot discuss how I might be wrong.

However, now that I look at this again, it looks like he might have blocked me. Or, at least he deleted my comments in this post. My first, right after his original post, was something along the lines of, The President can't buy anything. It's a condition of his office. If you believe otherwise it just shows that you don't know what you're talking about.

To which I also posted a link to this article in FORBES.com. He replied  with his 8:42 comment (seen below) to which I replied that Forbes provided their source material within the article, itself.

He then said I was trolling his post. I said I wasn't trolling his post, but that he was putting his religious and political opinions out there on the internet, in a public forum, and if he didn't like dissenting opinions he could (1) post to a Circle of like-minded people, (2) lock his comments, which at second glance is what I thought he did, or (3) not post at all.

Then he makes his 9:01 (as seen below) post about having another option and I try to rebut, but he blocked me (apparently) and I could not.

But I could get a screen shot...

.....and to answer their question....No, I wouldn't believe that without other sources to corroborate.

Oh...I have one other option reserved for trolls.

Unable to Post Below Comment Due to Locking Comments

Ah, the last bastion of people who don't like dissenting opinions. I gave you the courtesy of not blocking you due to your incessant pro-conservative and pro-Jesus posts. But, then again, I might just be the bigger man. You see, I don't surround myself with like-minded people to only reinforce falsehood. I get my news from various sources, I talk to people of all backgrounds and opinions. It's what makes some of us well rounded people.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend.

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...
