Cranking the Winger, huh?

The self-titled debut or “In the Heart of the Young”?

That dude had it coming, more so than anyone else because all that guy would do is be a disruptive ass and constantly troll. At least BLou would be somewhat logical with his trolling, trying to be right more than anything else, Clutche did it to start fights.

he should reconsider all the flagging he was doing because the stuff he was flagging made him look ridiculous. He said no. Al read all the stuff and must have agreed with me cause he banned him. I was surprised when Al said he banned him.

but I was there to flag him for nearly everything he said because all he was doing was starting fights and refuting the fact that he was trolling. Then I went away and did stuff, I can’t remember what so I must have been drinking, but I come back and I haven’t seen a word from him or BLou.
