Apologies Mandy, you’ve just taken the wind out of my sail….old habit. (and please don’t call me an elf, I’m very sensitive as to who I’m likened to.)

They certainly have not learned anything about intellectual integrity and consistency. They do not think twice before copying material from others, without acknowledging sources, and make it appear as if it were their own.

Not only that, but while they believe that jerking around the Colonna Mediterranea constitutes a censorship violation, they are grossly offended and outraged because the Prime Minister and the police do not muzzle a journalist like Daphne Caruana Galizia.They want the prime minister ‘to do something about her’.

How is that for consistency?

What we need is not another university as the leader of the moderates and progressives seems to think, but stricter intellectual “discipline” on who enters that institution and while they are there.

I don’t think anyone cares, and anyway, why change the subject?

Perfectly put, Daphne. The sheer crap you put up with on a daily basis is saddening.

Keep reporting facts and let the jealous, ignorant and brain-washed folk get angrier.

My gosh, your school years were clearly horrible.

[Daphne – No, they weren’t. They were just deadly boring, dull and very cold. I was in a stupor of boredom most of the time. Incidentally, I’m only referring to secondary school here. Primary school was normal and fun – coed and in a modern (for the time) building, with a pleasant atmosphere and lots of activities.]

I was merely pointing out the fact that your generalisations are as rational as Michelle Muscat’s decision to put on the silver dress, not to mention, equally offensive.

As for Mr Saksi, yes, I don’t contend the fact that he needs to grow up. He should also get less attention especially for a blog that was anyway never read. The general public is more concerned with corrupt members of the judiciary, legislative or executive branches of the State than with someone who has clearly one-too-many-hours to waste

Let me share a curiosity about this. Would you associate “z” with American English and “s” with British English?

Fowler prefers “-ize” to “-ise”.

What do you think?
