Author Ryan Field recently brought up the topic via his blog: http://ryan-field.blogspot.com/2012/0...

Author/popular blogger Matthew Darringer (http://matthewdarringerwrites.blogspo...) often addresses this epidemic via his blog, writing about people behind fake online Ids, presenting themselves to be "one" thing to the online social public, but acutally "something" entirely different, whether to spur sales, create controversy or gain attention.
