| Date | 23:12:04, November 24, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the January Theses part 1 |
| Message | We have serious issues with the first three articles. The first one is a restriction on individual freedom, the second just goes against common sense, and the third puts the defence of the Realm, and other vital emergency services on the line. This is wholly unacceptable, unpatriotic and dangerous! |
