Comments on: L-Orizzont has a madly jealous hissy fit, and its scrofulous editor still can’t bring himself to mention my name even as he asks who will rid him of this turbulent woman

Since when is L-Orizzont giving lessons on free and ethical journalism?

I tried repeating Daphne’s full name and surname three times in a clear voice, with my hands over my tablet, open at this website, thumbs and fingers touching to form a mystical triangle. Daphne failed to materialise at my breakfast table. Am I doing something wrong?

Clear proof (if ever it was needed) that they have no idea how to deal with you. They wouldn’t know what journalism is if it jumped out at them and smacked them in the face. Amateurs, the lot of them.

Darba Dr. Gorg Borg Olivier kien mistoqsi kif qatt ma jgħid xejn fuq dak li jinkiteb fuqu fil-gazzetti Laburisti.

It-twieġiba kienet fis-sens ta’ “Ma narax għalfejn meta nkun miexi lejn ix-xogħol (kien imur il-parlament bil-mixi) għandi noqod inħares go t-tankijiet taż-zibel li jkun hemm fuq il-bankini”.

In reply to Jozef. If I ever form a party (for none of the existing ones will take me) I'll call it Aardvark Action Alliance.

I once read a quote ” Hatred is an acid that does a great deal more damage to the vessel in which it is stored than the object on which it is poured”. So true.

[Daphne – It’s not true at all. Vessels in which acid is stored are purpose-built and acid-resistant. The same can’t be said of the things and people on which acid is poured. People who hate tend to hate on and on and on and are always out to get you or undermine you in whatever way they can.]

Seems to me that the article was written having received orders from the Auberge de Castille. The editor of L-Orizzont should know that the readers of his bin-liner rag represent the lowest scum of the island, and the rest will keep on following Daphne’s blog even if his fascist government tries to run it underground.

Tsk, tsk Ms Caruana Galizia, from now on you should wait for government press releases, publish those and not comment in any way. How dare you have a brain.

Forget that ‘journalism’ for the democratic world does NOT mean the government’s mouthpiece, a glorified parrot, a ventriloquist’s puppet.

It would be better if the author of that enlightened piece does not get to know how many people visit this blog to get to know of the connections between people and things, which explain so much these days, because he would have even more to ramble about.

Let me assure him/her that ‘did you read Daphne?’, ‘has Daphne come back?’ are very, very frequent comments.

Concern is expressed whenever there is a lull in postings even as we reassure each other that everyone deserves a break, even Ms DCG.

When the self-proclaimed speakers of the truth fall, one after the other, either silenced or sorry shadows of their previous selves, at the side of some sorry idiot, taking cues from him and keeping their heads low least it is chopped off, the only person who has the courage to say that the emperor is naked is very precious indeed.

It is significant that the author of the editorial attacked you personally, but did not disprove any of your articles. So thank you, Ms DCG.
