You sir, aren't thinking things through. If you want to risk losing critically important emails because google decided it didn't like your google+ picture, you be my guest.
I for one am deleting my g+ account until they fix all this garbage. If they don't, then I won't use it, simple as that. I'm using it for fun, I don't really need it (everyone's on facebook).
BTW, let me know if you ever run any companies, I want to know who to short and what software not to use.
Just so you know, when you say "tell me if you ever start a company, so I can know to short it", you're inadvertently paying someone a gigantic compliment. It takes some of the fire out of flamey comment when its premise is that your adversary is going to take a company public.
Really, you're shocked at a hostile reaction when you accuse someone of "false bravado and chest- and/or drum-beating" in a post dripping with condescension? If you're going to dish it out...
I don't think silverstorms aim was to offend, rather he was trying to explain an interesting phenomenon and perhaps accidentally offended. jdunlop's statement, on the other hand seemed designed to offend.
I consider one an accusation and one more of an attack, but you are correct, I was being condescending (I grow oh-so-tired of those posts) If they really are equal I suppose I shall rest.
Grow up or GTFO, HN is a place for adults. If someone is impolite, your response shouldn't be a trollish immature response.
If your life is so grossly devastated by a google action then you're an idiot. All my data on google is backed up multiple times, because I'm a responsible adult and want to ensure the safety of my data. I don't trust google simply because it's google. They're a mega corp that's going to ditch you, screw you and abuse you for a penny if they can.
As I said, it's time for people to grow up or get out.

"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation."
And you sir, are shockingly bitter. That's an uncalled for level of hate.
