| Message | we are sorry to see these extremistic tendencies. |
| Date | 14:56:06, December 12, 2010 CET | From | People's Party - Republican Democrats | To | Debating the No Goys |
| Message | Do the extremist tendencies of that other party come as a surprise to the BBNA? Did they ever care to take only one look at their political bedfellows' policies? |
| Date | 15:15:56, December 12, 2010 CET | From | rEvolution | To | Debating the No Goys |
| Message | We carry the label "extremist" with pride. Being moderate is cowardly. |
| Date | 00:37:58, December 13, 2010 CET | From | Nemangha Humananghô | To | Debating the No Goys |
| Message | Moderation is cowardly indeed. Regardless we must disagree with the bill, as our extremism is in the opposite direction. |

| Message | Moderation is never cowardly...moderation is wisdom. With your attitudes you risk to see and divide everything between "goods" and "evils" or if you prefer "black" and "white". But the world is not so dycotomic: there are a lot of grey in the world!! However you are right on one thing: taking and defending extremistical decisions is much easier than debating on each bill searching for compromise between majority and opposition: my party believes only in this way we could achieve the goodness for our country. We are sorry to say that because we are obtained several good results together, but if you won't start taking less extremistic iniztiatives, we'll be ready to broke actual coalition and exit from cabinet. We'll do it, even if it will cost us to be at the opposition. |
