"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

Google Authorship and Google+ sucks

I am a very reserved person and I wish to remain as anonymous as possible on the world wide web but unfortunately it was very disturbing to see my posts in search engines being assigned to a different person holding an identical name as mine (the person had a Google+ profile and his image appeared beside my blog posts which is very annoying to say the least). For this reason I was forced to create a Google plus profile just for the sake of obtaining Google Authorship for my blogger posts. Now it turns out that there is a big flaw in Google plus itself, any stranger can add you into their circles and you can do nothing about it.

People are not going to like this Google, I definitely doesn't like to be associated with any strangers and I can't even do anything about it. For now I'll close my Google+ profile and switch back to my Blogger profile. I hope Google fixes these issues soon.

Can I remove myself from someone's circles?
