That comment about medications to help deal with nationalism made me laugh out loud. I never considered it from a biological sense; I always figured radical nationalism was a form of memetic poison.
Regardless, the construction of alternate personas that act differently than their puppet master is not unusual in an online environment. I can't count the number of times I've heard Second Life users describe their avatar's personality as being different from their own - and their alt account's personality being different from that one, too.
