Dear Randolph,

I read your reply and accept it. But there is no apology to make. There are no allegations. It&#039;s fact that you are part of the Taghna Lkoll crowd. By your admission.  The €500 is nothing, if you&#039;re putting in the work you deserve to be paid that or more. 

The problem is how you have allowed yourself to be seen with the Taghna Lkoll scum. Not so much bniedem ta&#039; principju are you?  Sieq &#039;l hawn u sieq &#039;l hemm kif qallek haddiehor. 

Plus some more revealing facts about your personality came out in the open. Not so much of a live-and-let-live person are you? 

This will only throw you into further destructive patterns if you don&#039;t pick yourself up, have a good look at yourself, and fix some issues. 

Your integrity is being questioned - both on a professional/political level but worse than that, on a very personal level. 

Paddling Duck has said enough, I believe. It&#039;s a shame if even some of it is true. And I&#039;m not questioning whether Paddling Duck is honest or not. Looks like he knows much more about you than the rest of us.

Your turn to apologise to the people you have hurt. But you&#039;re way too proud to do that. That much I know all too well.]]></description>

Randolph,

You never had the most amazing reputation even before this.

Daqsekk uzajnieh r-ritratt qed tbus id il-Papa? Just look at your Facebook profile. It went dead on the 9th March 2014. I wonder why? There might be many reasons why such a connection can be made. You&#039;re doing nothing more than playing the Robert Musumeci card. 

Dare I say, you inflicted pain and threw many people off (especially decent gay individuals) from being involved in the PN due to your inappropriate advances, as well as being as a gay-couple wrecker. 

I will rest my case here and will not speak any more about this matter. That lot of manipulative, desperate, porn-revenge individuals suits preferences (NOT orientation) much more. You&#039;ve found your natural home with Labour. No wonder the PM targeted you.]]></description>
