"A" is that you make a boring name and fake up a few details then just never log on again. Just leave it. Don't delete it, just abandon it. No one else will notice it, and it will disappear much more cleanly than a deletion. "B" is that you make a fun or interesting name and turn your page into a fake celebrity. Make up a bunch of ridiculous details and post deep, meaningful quotes followed by drunken foolish party ramblings. Push that for as long as you want then let it flame out on its own. Either way you don't exist anymore.

This is actually really good advice IMO.
