Times of Malta regularly fail to put a story into context and make obvious and logical links between stories.

Recently, they have been running a series of articles against the use of slurry as fertiliser yet when they reported about the idea of dissolving corpses and using the resulting liquid as fertiliser, they reported it as if this were perfectly normal.

Where’s the consistency?

What I can’t understand is, how come that if a person is found guilty of a criminal act, he/she loses his/her job while Cyrus
Engerer is going to keep his?. Can someone enlighten me please?.

In reply to bob-a-job.

On the subject of Charlie Azzopardi, what a coincidence that there is a further link then between the author, the illustrator, Joseph Muscat and this question.

What a small world.

In reply to Scorpio. That shows what a hypocrite she is. Maybe one should ask her whether she condones what Cyrus did, to emulate her Leader, who stated that he has the same values as his.

In reply to bob-a-job. If Silvio's Debono is chairman of MCAST, I can see now hoe the MLP are allowed to campaign and put up posters inside the campus of MCAST.

The people out there know that the Anti Cyber Harassment Alliance was formed to try and shut up your blog, Daphne. It will definitely not issue any statement about Cyrus Engerer.

The other question to ask would be what he thinks of the PN’s latest constitutional presented to the speaker of the house yesterday.

One which defines and seals digital rights; the right to access the internet freely, the right to obtain information online and the right to hold, divulge and discuss matters freely on the net.

Let’s see what the term cyberbullying really corresponds to in his mind.

They have all been unmasked. No sympathy at all for their hero’s victim. They are a despicable lot.

I never expected anything better from PL and Joseph Muscat in particular, given his upbringing, being fed Mintoffian drivel by his grandma from an early age. They are not victims or underdogs.

They have always been the perpetrators of injustices, violence, human rights violations. Hadn’t he threatened Norman Vella to hit him below the belt where it hurts.

Is there no decent Labour MP left who will disassociate herself or himself from this shameful episode? Labour never gave anything to anyone because they care, but only if they could gain votes for themselves.

Shame also on the LGBT group which has not come forward in sympathy with the victim at the hands of a rogue activist.

The judgement actually means that their campaign was useless as legislation against cyber harassment and cyber stalking were already in place. In Maltese, we have good saying: hanqa ta’ hmar.

In reply to MoBi. My thoughts exactly. The Oracle has spoken and let nobody dares oppose him. And so say all of us tal-lejber
