| Message | Wait a second - don't you mean the Dorvik created by the elected Directorate, and as such the expression of the will of the people? You are behind the times, your values are no longer relevant. Go to hell cappy, you are no longer welcome in Dorvik. |

| Date | 01:23:04, December 18, 2007 CET | From | Dorvish Popular Front | To | Debating the Patriot Act |
| Message | So you insult the people of Dorvik, claiming they are nothing but gullible sheep who are easily led? You presume your opinions are so perfect, anyone (by anyone, we of course mean millions of Dorvish citizens) who disagree is a lunatic? It is clear to anyone with any faith in democracy that you are the lunatic, hell bent upon forcing your anachronistic system upon an unwilling populace. |
| Date | 04:06:10, December 18, 2007 CET | From | Technocratic Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Patriot Act |
| Message | Reasonably intelligent people have been deceived before, and they have been deceived again, by the GDP. Remember, we were Dorvik's largest party for several decades before the GDP's arrival, and once the GDP ceases to exist, we can guarantee that we will once again assume our rightful place at the forefront of Dorvish politics. |
