					<description><![CDATA[@Michael Debono

You describe DCG and ABC as being among the cream of the cream of the most educated people on the island.

DCG and her brother in arms, ABC, do not need any of your flattering.  They gloat most of the time anyway without anybody&#039;s encouragement.

Poor elves and all those others who do not always vote PN.  Daphne and her comrades consider you as a formidable albeit stupid opponent.


@Daphne
If I may, I have three questions for you.

1.
Given your very low esteem and lack of respect for the so called elves, what is it that keeps you ticking and writing the sort of articles that we have now become so very much accustomed to?

2.
When you write a contribution, do you have the elves in mind as your audience, or do you target the floating and pro PN voters who opted not to vote PN in the last general election?

Be careful, because the floaters and pro PN voters who did note vote PN in the last general election are slightly more intelligent than the so called elves.  If you keep on repeating ad nauseum the same arguments, you may very well be described as a pathetic nitwit.

3.
The other queastion is whether you do it out of love or duty?

It is evident that &quot;lil dak&quot; ma tantx thobbu u wisq anqas lil min b&#039;xi mod ma jappogax lil Gonzi.

Imma insomma lili thobbni hux? Nispera...

Duh!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@Amanda Mallia.  Just in case my question asking who in the blazes Joseph Grech-Attard was, was not a sufficient answer to your question - here goes in Noddy format:  I AM NOT, HAVE NEVER BEEN AND WILL NEVER BE JOSEPH GRECH ATTARD.  Similarly I AM NOT, HAVE NEVER BEEN AND WILL NEVER BE ANTHONY LICARI.  I have googled both people.  The only thing I have in common with Anthony Licari is that we both speak French.  The information on Dr. Grech Attard is so sparse that as far as I know I have nothing in common with this man other than our nationality. What is it with you people - believe me you don&#039;t know me.  My name would not ring bells with you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Is there no other subject that DCG and ABC know what to write about and induce others to give their share? You know what will happen? It will be a weeping site (wall) written and read only by the zealots.
It is so predictable, so nauseating, it truly makes you sick, and there is much vomit. And this from the cream of the cream of the most educated people on the island and sometimes even from abroad.
I will surely be told if you don’t like it do not to open the site. Of course that’s what I will be doing and suggests and hope that others, many others, do the same, ignore it. There are so many other subjects to read about thanks to the internet. What I wrote above will truly happen. In that case don’t bother to publish the site but open a club for the zealots to gather and spend the time yes weeping, vomiting, licking and competing in vulgarity. What a club will it be!
Friends, let Lady Daphne enjoy writing, just do not read her. Without an audience she will quickly realize that she is wasting her time. She will be preaching to the converted.
Strange how she reached this point of no return. Does this reflect on her youth, on her upbringing on her schooling, on her friends (Tell me who you befriend and I tell you what (sic) (not who) you are).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yes, Cikki, and do you know what is the most ludicrous about the comparison of Joseph Muscat to Barak Obama, Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, apart from the world leader status of the latter lot? They are all big, tall men - far, far above average - and Muscat can&#039;t even find a pair of trousers to fit him. Bill Clinton! Tony Blair! Castles in the air....]]></description>

Obama! Farrugia and Abela to Austin Gatt!! And to cap it all Daphne is accused of living in never never land!

					<description><![CDATA[@Daphne.  I have never met Joseph Muscat so I have no first hand knowledge of this nonsense you have come up with today.  Joseph Muscat is just a natural people pleaser.  He wants to be liked.  He&#039;s naturally charismatic.  A little like Bill Clinton or Tony Blair.  Just last week you were inferring that he was the &quot;cheating husband&quot; type.  Now you&#039;re inferring that he may play the other side of the fence.  What is it with you and Labour leaders?  You had it in for Alfred Sant, now you&#039;re all out to do a hatchet job on Joseph Muscat.  Your credibility is sinking fast.  And by the way just two weeks ago you were insisting I was Anthony Licari.  You&#039;re now asking if I am someone else called Joseph Grech Attard.  Who in the blazes is he?  And I certainly hope that the man is gay otherwise you may be libelling someone.  Daphne you&#039;re a trip!   Can&#039;t help loving you, hating you, loving you. He broke the mould when he made you!]]></description>
