alexpgpThe more I think back on that article by Maria Treshchanskaya, I think the author misses the whole point of online journaling, or else has an axe of her own to grind.
From what I can see from my perhaps-too-narrow vantage point (I journal only here on LJ), I think the vast majority of people who post their thoughts online are not trying to impersonate anyone, at least not in the sense of creating persons out of whole cloth or making believe they are someone famous.
This segues neatly into the oft-explored question of whether and to what extent any public, online journal reflects the writer's "true" self, but that is a question for another time.
Cheers...
