Competing interests:	In 2011, I. Ciufolini sued me for defamation in view of certain statements appeared in an online blog of the Lecce area written in Italian language. Moreover, in 2007 I. Ciufolini anonymously criticized a peer-reviewed paper of mine under the pseudonym "G. Felici" by posting a fake pre-print on the ArXiv with the email "gia.felici@yahoo.it." The ArXiv moderators publicly exposed him with the following comment: "This submission has been made by G. Felici, a pseudonym of Ignazio Ciufolini, who repeatedly submits inappropriate articles under pseudonyms, in violation of arXiv policies" posted in January 2014. In February 2014, they removed this comment without justification.
