Violence, judging by the comments on the internet so far.

U le, the fact that you spend so much of your waking hours, sifting through these comments, answering each one which pushes your buttons, for what? It’s not like you are trying to start a conversation with most of them, you just want to belittle them. Boq, I don’t get it, time is so precious nowadays yet you chose to spend it this way.

[Daphne – People from my kind of background, Richard, are raised with the notion of pro bono work and charitable exercises, if possible done quietly. I can’t do this quietly, by definition, but never mind. Exposing the Labour Party for what it is a service to society. That’s why I do it. And this time, I’m not joking or being sarcastic. You might not be able to understand how I can spend hours dealing with these people. I can’t understand how others spend hours sitting at a table playing bridge, or walking around for hours playing golf. It takes all sorts. I know it must be distressing for you to see your fellow-travellers rush to expose themselves in this fashion, but perhaps your eyes need to be opened too.]

Ejja Daphne, pop a Xanax and relax :)

[Daphne – I’m very relaxed. I’m in my element, yanking the chains of my social and intellectual inferiors (while they raid the Xanax cupboard themselves), in between making cottage pie and now, waiting for it to bake. Being cross with these people would be like being cross with monkeys, though I do try to explain where they’re going wrong. I do hope you’re not too ashamed of sharing their political choices. It must be an awful feeling to realise that you have exactly the same judgement.]

thinker, are you serious?

I am prepared to die for free speech. You seem to have a problem with it.

It takes a certain twisted masochist to support anyone of Mintoff’s ilk.

I suppose you get some comment like this on timesofmalta.com.

You say that you are a democratic person?. You form part of an autocratic type of Regime and precisely that is the Gonzi PN Regime that you side with to say to a person that is representative of those who voted for him to shut up and resign. Resign the chief of the evil oligarchy that has rendered our democratic parliament just a Parliament of signing papers to let people shut up by tying them a muzzle with their mouths to let the PN marmalja rolling down on the bodies of the oppressed.Shame on you all.”

It looks like a sentence you’d give school children to punctuate and correct. Iva hadd minnhom ma jaf jikteb sentenza li taghmel sens? Imbasta Malta l-ewwel u qabel kollox! Imma l-Malti donnu l-ahhar u wara kollox ghalihom.

“. . . people who go and sleep with him, leaving their wives . .”

That’s what they tell their wives.

A childishly candid comment. Except that Franco Debono never actually gave his word to the “Laburisti” that he’ll support their no-confidence motion. His “nivvota kontra” referred to a confidence motion.

Yes, perhaps they really should name a street after Macchiavelli. Somewhere in Ħal Għaxaq possibly.

[Daphne – You know, for the hell of it, and on no particular charges, for criticising the Great Leader of the Past. Now we now why Chairman Mao got ahead.]
