So the professor of geolinguistics and sociolinguistics who has half a page sabbatical, better known as the Gonzi-bashing corner, thinks he can tell people not to rush to print and that he or anybody serious never predicted any Labour landslide. And, guess when Anthony Licari said such things? Obviously, after the election.

Let me remind esteemed readers what this same person said on the eve of the election ( March 1) in the article Solitaire: "... the dying hours of this sad Administration..." and "... its puerile pre-electoral staggering largesse to impress... to make up for the... (listen to this)... several percentage points by which its trailing the MLP..." And if you're not convinced that Dr Licari was sure of a PN defeat this is what he wrote further down: "... in my opinion, the biggest election loser... will remain the creation of the awkward word gonzipn".

I would like the readers to note that Dr Licari used the word "will" not "might", which shows how sure he was of a PN defeat.

It seems that Dr Licari has forgotten that in the same article he wrote that "... these (the PN mass meetings) are a disaster and indicate that the lost sheep have not come back..." and that the PN candidates are "... huddled pessimistically together...."

Well Dr Licari, time has proved you and your party wrong and, with thousands of nationalists not voting, the MLP still never made it to government!

I think Dr Licari's time of putting words in people's mouth is over. I never said that any minority should shut up and if that's what he understood then he was grossly mistaken! So I advise him to save his human rights lectures for someone else!

I do hope that one fine day those who wrote inches of columns to ridicule Lawrence Gonzi and sparkled with the possibility of a PN defeat find their promised land somewhere in Valletta some time in 2013!

By the way, I don't think that the readers of The Times needed Dr Licari to tell them that I'm a gay rights activist; they already know. That's why I will be penning more letters encouraging the PN and politicians to keep their pre-electoral promises with gay people! But that's my business not Dr Licari's!
