The Chronicle spots the dark side of Second Life usage

Classic fearsome internet rhetoric from The Chronicle of Higher Ed: presumably asked about uses of Second Life, Sherry Turkle is quoted as saying

therapists [should] take Second Life seriously as tool for understanding their clients’ innermost thoughts and desires.
“You see someone really playing out the self that they want to explore,” she says. “It’s not always who they want to be. Sometimes they can be exploring a dark side of themselves.” (emphasis added)

Note the article's headline, proclaiming linking the Web to Second Life as news.  Are SLURLs that invisible?  Or does the Chronicle's technology reporting just like to make up history on its own?
