……however we really must admit that Daphne has one XL pair of titanium balls.

[Daphne – Unlike Josephine Casabene De Maria’s (or Josephine De Maria Casabene, whatever), they haven’t been surgically inserted into my chest.]

They say that the Maltese woman is clean indoors and dirty outdoors. I say you are either clean everywhere or dirty everywhere.

*As to the effectiveness of attacking her personally, of exposing her deeds, I’m not quite sure how this is useful to society… or to you for that matter.”

Attacking her personally? You should be asking why would a magistrate be having fun attacking personally a columnist whose personal life should be of no interest to anyone but her family and friends. Daphne is not a magistrate, a prime minister, a mayor, a member of parliament or someone who holds a government job. In no way is her private life going to affect us as citizens. You may want to read what she writes or simply ignore it. You may not agree with her and say so. But you should challenge her arguments and facts and her personal life does not come into it at all. At least she is always honest, unlike a lot of doppia faccia people I know.

In reply to David Buttigieg. You should rub in how you think he is a fascist EVEN though he wouldn't stoop quite so low as to sleep with someone young enough to be his child!

In reply to Steve Grech. It looks like one particular magistrate must be doing so, too ...

To be fair, nothing special about a magistrate romping around with a man either…who cares?

As to the effectiveness of attacking her personally, of exposing her deeds, I’m not quite sure how this is useful to society… or to you for that matter.

I would have chosen to expose how the media was used to serve extremely limited interests by a person who performs a public service. However, this is your call, your notebook.

Though, I must say, I have caught myself thinking on more than one occasions that Malta Today could do better than publish that ‘mepawatch’ column/article. I’ve perceived it on several occasions to serve as a thinly-veiled defence of the perit’s personal interests.

Rows and disagreements are a fairly common occurrence, so nothing new, special or impressive about a couple of plates flying across the room.

However, if a magistrate is behind the publication of a story of this sort even if, in her books or otherwise, there is friction between you and her, then that indeed is a liability to the image of the judiciary. This is because it amounts to abuse of power, and a breach of duty and every magistrate should be above that.

Are you in a position to prove your allegations that she is behind this story? If so, are you willing to press charges against her?

[Daphne – I have reasonable grounds to believe that it was her, but that is not enough to press charges. The facts are that she was privy, through her work, to certain information, that she knew what Malta Today was working on before it was published, and that she made a point of telling her guests to buy the newspaper to read the story. I am not interested in pressing charges anyway. This is much more effective, besides providing a useful service to society.]
