https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_X._Cringely is another interesting example, however in this case, Mark Stephens actually took over the pseudonym after he left InfoWorld:

After a financial disagreement in 1995, Stephens was dismissed from InfoWorld and was promptly sued by IDG to prevent him from continuing to use the Cringely trademark. A settlement was reached out of court that allowed him to use the name, so long as he did not contribute to competing technology magazines

…Robert Scoble was accused of sexual assault and later converted to Islam?

I'm learning so much from Wikipedia today.
