As long as the trolls in their place I am fine with this... you hear that Jersey and RD you no longer have the SOS moderators protecting you worthless a$$.
No moderation of any kind and you want you say ass here, and be an adult, talk like an adult and act like an adult. If Jersy wants to post a topic, or if you do, or anyone all I have to do is have a gmail address and I add you as an author, It's that simple
