That's an awfully high-risk solution to having to maintain multiple identities.

The last thing I want is to be cut off from my (business) calendar because of something I said in a forum somewhere.

Remember back when having your identity tracked across multiple websites was malicious and websites would do their best to perform the tracking surreptitiously.

Now it's all different - websites having users lining up to dox themselves.

I'm afraid if someone wants to dox many of the online pseudo-anonymous personas I use, they going to have to do all the work to dox me; I'm not lifting a finger to help them, much less actually do it for them.
