Owling together…. rather stupid comments I have to admit. I find all this rather pathetic. Just because I support Manuel Cini does not mean we will owl together.

I respect Mr. Cini’s rights, immaterial of whether he is gay or not.

I do not even care if he was a gay porn star…. So what? Are we all trying to portray ourselves as saints? Sorry but to comment further would be a complete waste of time….

Or “Maltese think tank”.

then i invite dery to publish his name, i have nothing to be ashamed, mine is published, i am a hard working family man, who works hard everyday for his family in his honest job, if you got the balls then tell me who you are! and by saying that my dad was a person who worked for refuse collection is not degrading at all he worked hard for us and he had 3 jobs, so that he can financially contribute for my studies, so please cut the crap, and FYI my dad was a security officer ta SVPR before he was transfered to waste collection in 1987, by some kind harted person, (a court case concluded it was vindicative)

all I asked is to stop mentoning my late father, that’s what really interests me, and please daphne stop acting like maury povich or jerry springer with the last thoughts!

[Daphne – Some mentioned your late father just once, and not even by name. I understand that you are upset, but he has hardly been drawn into the debate. The real problem here is your brother, and not the people who are discussing him. He has done all this – the naked posing on the internet, the porn, the hunger strike, the videos – because he wishes to be discussed.]

Dear daphen, i’ll take care of my own distress and you take care of yours tnx.

[Daphne – Exactly why are you so keen to tell everyone that this man is your brother?]

and who ever had this info must be really close to this ngo isn’t that so Padre or shall i call you Mark!

[Daphne – You and another member of your family have been posting comments repeatedly suggesting that my ‘old schoolfriend Montebello’ tipped me off about your brother’s porn history. Rubbish. Mark Montebello and I have no contact with each other at all. The last time we spoke was in 2002, when I rang to invite him to our 20th anniversary sixth-form reunion. The next time I speak to him will be next year, when I will have to help ring round for the 30th. Dery is not Mark Montebello. However, thank you for the tip. Something tells me there’s another story there. BUT PERHAPS SOME REPORTER WILL BOTHER TO DO IT INSTEAD.

I know you’re distressed, but you’re focussing on the wrong targets. Your distress is caused by your brother’s past and present behaviour and by those really disgusting pictures he posted on the internet. Even if everyone stops talking about them, those pictures will still be there, so maybe you should sit him down and talk to him and persuade him to get rid of as many as possible.]

there is only one manuel cini’s father, and that was out of place,please let him rest in peace!, on other issues i have absolutely nothing to say

i am manuel cini’s brother and i DO NOT agree with what he is doing but most of all I DO NOT agree with mentioning my late father in your post. pls remove post. ASAP!

[Daphne – He didn’t mention him by name. Had he done so, I wouldn’t have uploaded it. ]

Joseph, why not thank Daphne instead? She has just provided you with more material for your Queer Mediterranean Memories II. A chapter entitled “Gay PORN (notice my emphasis) stars on the Catholic Island of Malta” would make that a best seller. Go for it, mate.

[Daphne – In your 60s and still talking like a girl in the school playground. Is your ambition to put prejudiced people even further off gay men? If so, then you’re doing a great job]
