Well actually I don’t have a problem with you but with what you say because to me it seems amazing, astounding even that a person as educated as you are show so much disdain towards those of different political opinions, and cross the line into rudeness when a person debates you fairly. I think you do reognise that when you have an open blog you can’t expect solely supportive comments.

[Daphne – The usual false logic, Matthew. Opinions are a matter of choice. So yes, it is perfectly normal, legal and acceptable to show disdain towards people for their opinions. It is not similarly normal, legal and acceptable to show disdain towards people for things that they cannot help and which are not their choice, like gender, sexuality or skin colour. I trust you now understand the difference. You speak as though a Labour voter can’t help being a Labour voter. Of course they can. It’s a choice.]

[Daphne – Can the Maltese learn languages? I hadn’t noticed. Most are incapable of speaking and writing even their own, let alone the English to which they are relentlessly exposed but which most fail to learn properly or at all. If I were to use the Maltese definition of what passes for speaking English, then by golly, I speak Italian and French, and maybe even Arabic, given that I can just about make myself understood.]

That is how we moved on and survived as a nation. Sadly, we don’t have the person to lead us and take Malta back to its former glory and peaceful days (i.e. post 1987). Fact: Malta has lost its respect in a matter of weeks. Let us hope the the MLP does not ruin Malta again.

Seems I hit a nerve.

[Daphne – No, you didn’t. I spend all day dealing with jerks on this comments board and by the afternoon I’ve generally had it up to here. It is the effect of a cumulative wave of stupidity, and your inability to see that there are facts and then there are opinions.

Now here’s something else: I’m onto you. Your problem isn’t politics, but me. You are in here not to debate political issues or anything else mentioned, but to challenge me and score points off me personally. There has been a entire procession of individuals who have tried this, and they are immediately identifiable by their use of language (carefully literate). I call you the bunny-boilers.]

Giff us awere lenkwich, Mr Ball.

[Daphne – It does. Just not to your sort, who don’t know any better. And it’s not the video or the uploads that put him in a bad light anyway. The video does not lie. The upload is a factual matter. It’s his behaviour. You just don’t get it: not everybody sees things the way you do. Have some self-awareness. Try thinking for a change. Muscat looks, sounds and behaves like a redneck. The fact that other rednecks admire his behaviour is neither here nor there. There is a reason why everyone else shown in the video is smirking with bemusement, and why he is being humoured with patience, like somebody making a scene in a shop or restaurant. But I don’t suppose you’ve picked up on that, because it’s too subtle.]

Muscat’s alone in this. He should have seen it coming a long time ago.
