Troll

https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3035/2741652353_0071d6234f_z.jpg?zz=1 Image found using "reuse" rights search on Google I don't normally actively troll someone but I just did. This woman made an incoherent argument and when I asked her how she was contributing to the conversation she simply reiterated her argument and called me an idiot. I told her her argument was the equivalent of just going to posts and commenting "popcorn" for all the benefit she was bringing to the conversation. She then told me "America doesn't need people like me" and I could move to Mexico or somewhere else. So, I went to her Profile and typed "popcorn" on all her posts until she blocked me. Yes, it was a little fun. Yes, it was a waste of time. No, I'm not going to miss her. She was kind of an idiot. Sad part is, we were on the same side policy-wise, but she couldn't make a rational point. Nor was she very good with the written word. We all make the o...

I have a friend...

Image
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I went to a party. Okay, so it wasn't that long ago and it wasn't in another galaxy, but I did go to a party. It was a friend's 40th. I've known the guy since 1994 and started hanging out with him in 1996/7. Over the years we've traveled together, worked together, helped each other out and been there for each other. Recently, he started dating a girl. By recently, I mean in the past 2 years. He met her through her ex-husband whom he worked with at the time. This was before she got married to him and my friend even went to her wedding. They remained friends all throughout her marriage. When she and her husband decided to break up my friend picked a side. She wasn't out of her house for an hour before they were going on out-of-town weekend trips with her; dating her and then inviting her to move in with him. Fast forward a year and I'm over at his house just hanging out one afternoon. I asked how everything wa...

Ideas, events and people

Image
I've been thinking about rage-quitting Google+. As much as I enjoy communication, sharing ideas and thoughts and interacting with people who share some sort of interest, I'm getting really tired of all the narcissistic ego-centrism I'm seeing. This isn't the first time I've post thoughts of this subject and after restricting my Google+ usage, I'm finding (after a semi-full time return) that I'm just as annoyed as before my partial hiatus. I was blocked twice today. Both by long time connections who were both Buzzers of days gone by. One guy -- a guy who alienated many people with his strict outlook on life -- a guy who once told me to stop posting current event articles and to stick to photos of my dog because he disliked my choice of source articles or my opinions, finally blocked me today (or was it yesterday?) after I questioned why he created a post of nothing but a link about a murder suicide. He left no comment on why he shared the link, what his o...

The Art of Bubble Building in Social Media

Image
Normally this is the time of day I turn off the internet and sit somewhere with little to no distractions and type out word after word on my attempt at a novel. Today, I'm sort of annoyed so unless I get this post typed out really quickly, I'm not going to spend any real time on my novel. Social media . Yeah, that again. I'm still trying to figure out how social media fits into human interaction, as I'm sure some sociologist at a university is doing somewhere as well. I don't have interns or a university's level of research capabilities, so I might be a little less academic about social media than others. I also don't pretend to be a social media guru, sitting at my Twitter client watching two, three or four streams on information come and go by other self-described social media gurus and Twitter bots. I am, however, a student of life. Since I was a kid I've always watched people: I watched how my parents interacted with each other, others a...

Lauren Blocked Me for Being a Troll

Image
Somehow I was labeled an internet "Troll" by Lauren after daring to post on one of his anti-gun Google+ posts that the real issue with Friday's massacre isn't that people have guns, it's the people themselves that are dangerous. He deleted my comment and then commented that no "NRA propaganda" will be allowed in his stream. I then posted a comment asking why my post was deleted then, since I did not mention the NRA (I actually dislike the NRA) but merely stated it's people who go about shooting others, not guns themselves. He then deleted my comment again and said he blocked me. I'm getting really fed up with with internet, lately. Especially Google+. I have "known" Lauren for years. We have talked many time about politics, technology and current events. Now that I think about it, he never comments on anyone else's posts but his own and that's after  someone comments on his. Regardless, how is trying to have a discussion abo...

I Trolled ... and it was fun

Image
Yes, yes. I'm not above a good time at the expense of others. Plus, I was on mobile and I don't like typing big responses on mobile.  To see it in real life,  CLICK THIS Gregory MacBeth   -   Jan 5, 2012   -   Mobile   -   Public http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/01/05/hail-to-the-king-obamas-latest-power-grab/ King Obama circumvents Congress and says he will go around the legislative body when he can't get his " ROYAL" way. Then he says he will not accept "NO" from Congress. King Obama needs to read a traditional history book and learn how our government has worked since Washington. They must teach something different in Indonesia about the functioning of the US Republic. BUT of course they teach something different about our government operation. This is what happens when liberals and street thugs elect a candidate that is not a natural citizen and has been educated outside the US by foreigners. ...
