| Message | So celebrities can sue over people talking about how big their body has gotten over the years? This is absurd! |
| Date | 05:07:34, April 10, 2007 CET | From |  Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the Removal Of Libel Act 2386 |
| Message | We need to pass this law. If not, "libel" becomes an abstract cop-out for those not liking what is said about them, especially public figures. This will protect free speech and democratic freedoms in the Democratic Republic of Aloria! |
