In reply to Lomax.

I had already said once before and will repeat it again.

Having spoken about these guys and vented our anger against them, we should now just ignore them so as not to give them more publicity.

Something that these types of people crave and yearn for – not having their name in print anymore will make them go crazy.

Well said, Fr Joe. I do not pity JPOS, I ignore him as I ignored him in the election booth the last time around.

Men who cry do not qualify for my vote unless I am asked to vote for an actor, a ham at that, instead of a politician.

Both the party and the church prefer non-confrontation.

The risk is that many remain ignorant of important information so vital for people to make an educated decision.

The right to freedom of expression has been won with so much toil but it needs to be defended and protected.

WARNING: PERSONAL ATTACK AHEAD.

Don’t pity him. Just attack him.

He really has lost the plot hasn’t he?

The only problem with Fr. Borg’s advice is that we cannot just move on from this sad specimen of a human being.

He has shown he is able of causing great damage not only to individuals but to the country.

He cannot simply be ignored. He needs to be committed – be it to any asylum or a jail. Either will do.

He is cunning, scheming and conniving.

You wouldn’t say hello to him on a lonely day except to take the piss out of him.

What has pity got to do with it?

Get a grip, Daphne.

[Daphne – Lost in translation, maybe: the pity I’m thinking of is contemptuous, not sympathetic.]

I do pity him. He is now being pulled by the nose, entwined around her small finger and basically salivating and doing the the bidding of his double-crossing missus.

As I have known him personally and been both his friend and supporter, I can only think that something has gone wrong in the upper area of his brain.

I think that by attacking him we woulld be keeping him in the limelight.

By pitying him and simply ignoring him we would be really disservicing him. After all, he covets the limelight and cavorts with anyone and anything capable of throwing him in the limelight.

I wondered whether his vote on Monday was an attention-grabbing strategy.

It was JPOS’s turn to take the lime-light. And what better way than to up the stakes: Franco Debono abstained so he voted against.

The fact that the motion was against Mr Cachia Caruana just made the vote sweeter for him.

Beyond feeling pity for JPOS, I think that Mr Cachia Caruana has a basis to contest – out of principle – the vote against him.

He is a civil servant and there are constitutional bodies established to handle such issues, but surely not parliament. Also, the premise for the resolution was not proved – so the vote is sort of fallacious.
