Hey JT I agree with you in full but what if A Mean Hat just posted it to 
try to get people to say H^b^rt and its not actually part of the map?  
So your CFJ only works if A Mean Hat send you the same 10 words.

Subject: Acka: Duel Challenge!

Hear ye! Hear ye!
As second to A Mean Hat, the leader of the JAM church, I convey to Robert
Sevin the following words of challenge:

"Robert Sevin!  Bring yourself to the field of Honour!

For crimes, hideous crimes, crimes of an unforgivable nature, against our
mighty state of Ackanomic I challenge you to a duel.

In oh-so-vile prop 2116, you tried, with a "re-vamp", to bring religion to
Acka, for your own selfish ends and with the intent of giving your own
[equally vile] Religious Caste power over the rest of us.  Note that this
"re-vamp" proposal was not an amendment, but rather created an entirely new
rule, entitled AMUNG GODS!! (damning, isn't it?).  I challenge you!  For my
honour as an Ackan, for my honour as a member of JAM, for my honour as an
entity, I challenge you!  Bring yourself to the field of battle!"

Please present your second to myself with your response.  

- --JT, Second.
