| Message | We are willing to compromise on several topics, however, there are a few which we find appalling and believe that they must be passed for the sake of the citizenship (Articles 3,4, 8 &11 ) |
| Date | 16:12:29, April 03, 2012 CET | From | Deltarian Union for Conservative Economy | To | Debating the Civil Society Deregulation Act of 3283 |
| Message | We think that adultery should remain formally illegal. Simply so that our party's visibility is not damaged, would you please remove article one as well. |
| Date | 16:36:47, April 03, 2012 CET | From | New Liberals | To | Debating the Civil Society Deregulation Act of 3283 |
| Message | We understand that adultery is clearly non-moral, but we are not convinced that the state should define the bounds of morality, however we can agree to this if the rest of Articles can be either modified or agreed on. |
