This just about says it all, doesn't it?

What was it we were saying the other day about people being incautious with their emails and not realising how easily they can end up in the wrong hands?

Some utter Labour idiot thought he was being clever by posting, as a comment on this website, a hysterically incorrect message which Victor Laiviera – he who voted Labour in 1971, 1976, 1981, 1987, 1992, 1996, 2003 and 2008 – sent out to his circle of email buddies. In the subject line: About DCG. And you can guess what the content of the message was. The idiot in question posted it with a remark that he agrees, and in the process let me know who Victor Laiviera’s email buddies are, the ones to whom he sends obsessed messages about me, by erroneously posting the ‘from’ and ‘to’ details of the message.

They include the usual Labour suspects like Toni Abela, plus Jo Said (about whom the less said the better), Saviour Balzan and a couple of other people from Malta Today. Ma’ min rajthom, xebbahtom, or birds of a feather flock together.

    Yeah, Idiotic to paste the damn contact information. Moronic actually.

    However, please, please, please, show us the message contents :)

    Since, I am not in this privileged group of recipients I am not privy to what was in the email, and would appreciate reading said contents.

    Pretty please??

    [Daphne – No. I like to keep things up my sleeve. One never knows when one might need them.]

  2. Andrew Borg-Cardona says:

    If I were some of those guys (no dolls….) I’d be embarrassed to be seen with some of the other…. have fun working out which is who….

  3. Andrew Borg-Cardona says:

    Correction, there was 1 babe…

  4. Marku says:

    These people need help. Don’t they realize that their obsession is kind of unhealthy (and possibly creepy as well)? Interesting too that they’re all men except for one Julia Farrugia.

    [Daphne – I’ve been pointing out that it’s always unattractive men, but nobody listens to me.]

  5. David Buttigieg says:

    And what was the message?

  6. Brian*14 says:

    La bella compania…but what about Jason – where’s he hibernating these days? Must say a tad surprised to see Alfred Mifsud’s name in that list.

  7. Victor Laiviera says:

    So they were right! Woe is me – cursed be the day you have revealed my dread secret – I have a large circle of email contacts! (actually I have lots more – that is only one group)

    Grow up – don’t you think it’s about time?.

    Enjoy your groupthink.

    PS: Just in case your familiars on this blog DON’T guess what the email was about, why not tell them? Censorship?

    [Daphne – No, Victor. I’m keeping it up my sleeve for later. Who was right? Be careful who you include in your round-robin messages in future. Grow up? Ahem. I’m not the pensioner sending out obsessive emails about a woman young enough to be my daughter. Witches have familiars, Victor – a description which only atavistic men use in respect of women who make them feel threatened, yet with whom they remain inexplicably fascinated. There is one word to describe a man your age emailing his circle about a woman columnist, like a stalker: brrrrrr, creepy.]

  8. Dr.C. says:

    Just a suggestion (it’s not necessary to post this comment if you wish) but I would post the whole comment sent. It’d be fun to watch the accusations fly at this idiot… ;)

  9. IM9 says:

    @ Marku and ABC…

    2 babes.. Nikki Alamango is also a woman.. Nikita – DCG also had a post about her and her name!!

  10. David Buttigieg says:

    Victor Laviera,

    How nice to see you again after all these months – I must remind you that you never showed up as agreed outside Castille last March! Tsk tsk, how rude of you – the tail between your legs stop you from showing up did it?

    Ghadek mahruq — oh miskin!!

  11. Marku says:

    Who is Victor Laviera anyway?

    [Daphne – One of those old Labour neurotics.]

  12. Corinne Vella says:

    So he’s popped in again, has he? I doubt he ever went away. He’s probably lurking here right now like some perverse, electronic voyeur. Maybe he’s run out of knitting patterns? He could take up crochet instead.

  13. Scerri S says:

    Familiars? Hooray! Can I be a cat? Miao :)

  14. ASP says:

    “1971, 1976, 1981, 1987, 1992, 1996, 2003 and 2008 ”

    and in 1998?

    [Daphne – That too. Silly me, I’d forgotten his buddy Sant blooped after 22 months.]

  15. Jonathan says:

    Dearest Victor … Daphne is keeping this up her sleeve so that your son won’t plaster it in the The Times and get the credit instead (Charlon Gouder style) … oh yes your son is working at The Times now…The Times?? Isn’t that the newspaper that Victor had crusaded against during the past electoral campaign? The mind boggles.

    [Daphne – Let’s not drag his son into this. It’s to his credit that he’s working at The Times rather than burning it down.]

  16. P Shaw says:

    The mask is off for a few of them, people like Vince Farrugia and Karl Schembri. I knew that they had a grudge against the PN, and salivate whenever they hear the name of Muscat, but I never imagined that they are extremists who hang around with the likes of Laiviera, Manuel Cuschieri and Zammit Marmara.

  17. Josescib says:

    I am surprised that Frans Sammut is not on the list. It is comforting to see Salvu “Ou Saviour” Balzan there, it explains a lot of about the vitriol he spews in his rags. The man is vile, I saw him kissing his “girl”friend openly in a Naxxar pavement coffee shop only days after the demise of his wife. He could have kept it private!

  18. Amanda Mallia says:

    Victor Laiviera – ” I have a large circle of email contacts! (actually I have lots more – that is only one group)”

    You put your foot in it again, you fool! Enjoy your group-think.

  19. Matthew says:

    [email protected] is Martin Baron, a man who makes bad sandwiches in Valletta for a living.

    [Daphne – Oh my god, that awful man who had the terrible restaurant near the Barrakka a few years ago. I wrote about a dreadful experience some friends and I had there, and the next thing I knew, Marie Benoit was defending him all over her Sunday column and spitting at me. I wondered what the connection was. And as if that was not enough, the following week she felt it necessary to ‘interview’ him. What a bunch.]

    Hey Vic,

    This takes the biscuit…

    Here’s a little something where to put all the biscuits (gemmajthom gmielhom eh Vic?) when you and your cronies have a spitefest about our dear DCG…

    I made it ‘specially for ya…

    http://www.freedoglistings.com/pics/02/69_cookjarpoodw.jpg

    You’ve already been caught with your hand in the cookie jar but from now on picturing you with your hand in this lovely jar sort of makes me go all Awwwwwwwww

  21. Meerkat :) says:

    Martin Baron stirs the pot with Drrrrrrr Licariiiiiiiii

  22. Fluke says:

    Mr.Laviera you of all people should know that you can use “BCC” instead of “To”,(it would have save you the embarrassment)) but than, what do you expect of a person who was all out supporting Mintoff when he was banning PC from our then, third world country???!!!

    BCC: To send a copy of your correspondence to a third party (for example, a colleague) when you do not want to let the recipient know that you are doing this (or when you do not want the recipient to know the third party’s e-mail address)

  23. A Camilleri says:

    Silly me! And yesterday I was thinking Daphne gets her information from MI5, FBI, CIA etc. What a letdown! Nothing so glamorous or sophisticated! :-)

  24. Jo says:

    off topic I know (sorry) – but just in case this new site has escaped you Daphne – maybe you want to have a look at it !
    http://www.glennbedingfield.com

    [Daphne – Oh, him. There’s another funny story to be told there, involving a beautiful chick in silver hot-pants in a nightclub somewhere behind what used to be the Iron Curtain and $50 borrowed off a friend of mine on a press trip. You know, I’m beginning to see a pattern emerging.]

  25. Victor Laiviera says:

    I see that my posts are being censored and you are attributing things I never said

    Shame on you – is there no level to which you will not sink?

    You also added names to the list – I imagine that is an offence.

    [Daphne – I solemnly swear, without kissing the cross, that I did not add any names to the list or remove them. I reproduced it exactly as I received it. You may be trying to cover your butt with some of those on the list who may now be very annoyed at you, but I will not allow you to wriggle out of your self-inflicted mess by lying. I am not attributing to you things that you never said, and I deleted your earlier comment only to spare you further embarrassment as you are very clearly new to the world of the internet. But since you insist, I will explain in great detail to your audience here: Victor Laiviera has been busily emailing his group with a Facebook friends link. Because he copied and pasted the wrong link, this being Victor, when you click on it you end up at a log-in page instead of the page he wants you to see. So I hummed and hawed and put on Debono’s thinking-hats and finally worked it out after two seconds, the clue being in his introductory sentence: “Don’t bother about her and what she thinks. After all, just look at this”, followed by the Facebook friends page link. While scouring the internet in search of more information on his favourite person, he had come across my Facebook shell listing, which I described in detail in an earlier blog-post called, unambiguously and with no room for confusion, I AM NOT ON FACEBOOK. Because I know by now how his mind works, I can see that he immediately jumped to the conclusion that here was LITTLE MISS NO FRIENDS. Daphne has no Facebook Friends! Quick, let’s email Martin Baron and Saviour Balzan! Oh Victor, you poor sap. Scroll back along and read why: I registered only to find a friend in San Diego, promptly found her, and never touched Facebook again. I press Delete on all the friend requests that I receive because I consider Facebook to be there mainly so that perverts and seksikin can pry, and it turns out I’m right. As for the depths to which people sink: you’re the one who voted Labour in 1976, 1981 and 1987. So obviously, you’re not exactly hot on principles. Say what you like about me, I never voted to maintain that situation of rampant corruption, violence, and Lorry Sant running the country.]

  26. Amanda Mallia says:

    Victor Laiviera – You asked for it, in every sense of the word. What a wally! (And Toni – just to clarify, since I know that you’ll be seeing this too, I said W-A-L-L-Y, not willy)

  27. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Come come, now, the restaurant near the Barrakka, wasn’t all that bad. Back in the summer of 2003 they had a charming little slip of a French girl working there as a waitress. Yeah but the drinks were crap.

  28. Stanley Cassar Darien says:

    Slippery slope………everybody seems to be some sort of celebrity in Malta.

  29. David Buttigieg says:

    Run RUN Victor !!! LoL:)
