What's amusing is how self-righteous you are all acting. I guess given your own firsthand experiences making such gaffes you all have great insight into Mr. Klein's stupidities.

It's coverage in the actual media rather than blogs isn't very widespread. It is however cheap and easy to write so there is a significant incentive for media organisations to pick it up.
And the media loves to talk about the media, because to those making it, it's "the world" they live in.
They can eat their own most amusingly, however:

There is probably some truth in that. Most people who deal with online identity have to deal with the online disinhibition effect (ODE), and many of us have certain experience of expressing ourselves using less-than-ideal concepts.
But that's no less true for the few partisans trying to turn the Obama Wikipedia article into the Obama Conservapedia article. Learning to compose one's concepts better is one thing. Learning or not learning the value of NPOV is another, and arguably just as important.
