Damn, she's figured that I'm not H. P. Baxxter
Joseph’s beetles, who have been organised to target ‘blokks’, are fraudulently using the names of real people or the nicks of regular commenters on this blog to post their own anti-Daphne, anti-PN, pro-Mintoff (because this is no longer about being pro-Labour) comments here.
Wherever I have noticed them, usually alerted by the fact that the style or content doesn’t fit the person I know or the commenter I am familiar with, following which I check the email address to see whether it matches up (it doesn’t), I have deleted them.
But some might be getting through, so please alert me if you notice that your name or nick has been taken in vain.

I read a few of the comments against you and I don’t like them but then I don’t like your hateful comments about Mintoff neither.
[Daphne – ‘Learn with Daphne’: either, not neither.]
Why beetles? I liked elves better … Tolkein and all that, you know.
I told you so yesterday! My email address and IP numbers come from far away as you can see. They don’t have the intelligence to come up with some original name. No wonder they cannot come up with any decent policies.
I would still post the comments that are being sent to you under false names. Just add a note that they were sent by someone else.
Pathetic little chameleonitic cheats. If there’s an unethical use of the media and public fora, this has to be it.
Seeing as I’ve been featured in a beetle’s speech bubble, yes, my name has been taken in vain on various occasions. On tasteyourownmedicine, on Maltastar, on Malta Today and on The Times of Malta message board.
Daphne, Thanks for your notice.
I hate to think that a beetle may have the name of ciccio.
However, in the interest of the sanitation of your blog, I authorise you to crush any pest which crawls in here by that name.
I take this opportunity to warn you in particular about dung beetles. They stink.
It’s funny really: you can steal somebody’s name, but you certainly can’t steal their brain cells.
