I fully agree. I can't even set up a facebook account under my avatar name, so why would I want to talk about Second Life there? But I'm active on Twitter under my avatar name, and also on third party forums.
My RL identity is not a secret, but I don't announce it in bold letters either for safety reasons.
Not everyone on the 'net is a big fan of Facebook. Consider, for example, the brouhaha that happened when Blizzard tried to force the use of real-life names in their forums.
Also, the Facebook format strikes me as a poor one for discussing technical subjects. Email lists and forum threads are far superior for detailed discussions, and can leave a permanent archive that can be used later for learning.
