So, it turns out that rumors of Lanata's death are greatly exaggerated. He is not backing down, and
is continuing to point squarely at Dr. Anibal.
He's also upping the stakes: Anibal had threatened to press charges for libel. Lanata is saying that never happened. From the way he says it, sounds like he relishes the prospect.
I would be delighted to find out that bajo was really EdRooney or pauper all along.
