I was pissed. After a huge blow out between us i get removed from the replica Rolex 179175-RDP Ladie's watch guild and put on ignore.Before we condemn the guild leader for throwing Unwelcome out of his guild, he did mention there was a major fight between the two of them, and we aren't privy to what was said during that fight that resulted in him being guild removed and ignored.
