@ bonello.

The only hatred I see is from persons like yourself. Daphne keeps the blog open to all,  whether you agree with her or not, and I am sure is quite happy to enter into rational argument with you even if you disagree with her. 

However, many of you keep ranting on and on that it is Daphne who is spreading hatred when it is you who write in who are doing that. 

If anything, it is Daphne who is the target of venom simply because those who spew it are unable to express themselves civilly and incapable of appreciating true political analysis - which is amongst the best written in Malta - and attack her because she dares criticise &quot;Joseph taghna&quot; or others from his stable. 

True she occasionally refers to persons from what she considers are the &#039;other Malta&#039; in somewhat disparaging tones.   However, one could argue that it is fair comment in the light of social analysis. 

Moreover  photos which are uploaded are freely available on Facebook and therefore fair game.

The bottom line is that this is a personal blog. You don&#039;t have to read it. 

This blog is a great outlet for like-minded persons to share their thoughts and feelings - and thank God for it. 

If you don&#039;t like the sentiments shared here or are unable to disagree agreeably, simply do not log on and you will not be exposed to the type of commentary there is here.]]></description>
