Nice comic :)  That's definitely the sort of thing that can happen.  Although, remember, the biggest risk is from stuff you say and share being used against you.  If you tell a secret to a offline friend, you probably know them very well and have seen that their persona is real.  And even if they do spread your secret around, it's probably going to be with a small group.  Someone online that pass it around a lot further, and once someting is on the Internet, it's very difficult to get it off.
