But Daphne did, Myriam. She predicted Labour will win.

Now it’s final. Mr Saviour Balzan has just informed me that he believes that there must be some valid reason why he is refusing to publish my comments.

“Nimmagina mhabba l-kitbiet tieghek” Unbelievable!

The champions of liberalism, the champions of freedom of speech refuse to publish my comments, under my own name, for the very simple reason that Labour activists have no answer to them.

Imhabba l-kitbiet tieghek…Mur obsor. And don’t forget that Malta Today is an independent publication. Shame on you, Mr. Balzan.

[Daphne – I don’t know why you bother. The newspaper set up purportedly for self-described morally superior intellectuals has ended up with subliterate trash for readers.]

I have just received an E Mail from Mr Balzan assuring me that he will look into the matter because, he said, there is absolutely no preference there.

He also thinks that my comment could be problematic…Well, I posted comments like “Testing”, “Hello”, “Good morning”….and yet service was still, and is still, unavailable.

She doesn’t have anyone telling her what to write.

She knows that upholding her principles allows her to open up the mental habitat.

When Daphne says she’s surprised at the number of hits, it’s nothing but appreciation to those who give her credit and an awareness that authenticity is a still a respected value.

Thus the aversion to being branded, as I inadvertently did.

I admit I had never heard of okmalta and maltapark but all the other sites are run by organisations, some of which are very large by Maltese standards.

On the other hand, here we have a blog, run by one woman in her spare time; a site without any fancy design gimmicks, just plain straightforward articles. There’s nothing to buy, no phone numbers to look up and no banking transactions to carry out.

And she gets to be up there with the top ten sites in Malta, which means that there must be literally tens of thousands of people who visit the site every day, just to read what Daphne has to say.

That’s quite an achievement.

Happens to me too, as a matter of fact. I thought there was something wrong with my connection as I’ve been getting a “service not available” message every time I try to post a comment (wanted to post a link to Lou Bondi’s blog regarding the lies being spread by Lawrence Grech).

How about Fre-du…Fre-du, Ze-ro…Ze-ro.?

I meant about the ratings …
