In reply to I.R.A.B.. I don't either, IRASB, but I wouldn't post sick comments either.

In reply to Neil Dent. It is called black humour.

Dear Daphne, you are so truthful as always.
In fact when I saw some of that rubbish posted I preferred to stay away from passing by best wishes.
Will you kindly allow me space to be short and to the point that I wish Dr. Gatt a sincere speedy recovery.

Not sure that I agree with you. I don’t think I would wish Dom Mintoff or Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici a speedy recovery if they got sick.

I firmly believe that it is essential to subjugate instincts, passions and any reactive indignant feelings to the supremacy of the will – the control centre of personality.

I also am convinved that we must learn to distinguish between the sinners and their sins.

We have a right, indeed we are duty bound to look upon all sin with abhorance: but we are also duty bound to love the perpetrators of evil. The same two principles apply to minor peccadillos and to many minor daily failings of our fellow humans.

I found this interesting tidbit:

http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20111122/local/veteran-journalist-wins-european-court-case-after-libel-conviction-in-the-maltese-courts.395031

specifically this little gem:

‘Furthermore, the domestic courts had not given any weight to the fact that Sir Boffa had been a prime minister and, therefore, a public figure who had to tolerate broader limits of acceptable criticism. Neither had the courts considered that the article was devoted to a subject of some public interest.’

Allow me to remind you that in the same manner, you, Daphne, stooped even lower when you wished for another political figure to “drop dead”.
