I'll make sure to never review a book by him/her, and I'll let other book bloggers know about this extremely crude behaviour.

From the messages I received from the author, I choose to believe that the reposting was not a direct action on this person's part, though, of course, the responsibility is theirs at the end of the day. I don't want to get anyone blackballed or anything like that; I just want my "rights" to be respected, like I respect the rights of others.

I wouldn't let go of this issue until I felt safe that the threat of identity theft (for present or future uses) is eliminated.

You're right; until they're taken down (or possibly passed on to me), I'll keep wondering, and checking to see what, if anything, is posted under these accounts. It will, quite literally, drive me batty
I've sent the author another message, asking about the possibility of the accounts being closed. The response will determine my next steps ...
