If you invent a person and assume their identity, that's still a false identity.

How you interact with the internet is not really relevant to the discussion. The average person does not interact with the internet in the same way that people on this forum do, so that should not be the yardstick by which we judge this.

Is vertigo22 a real identity or a fake one?

How other "average" people (am I not average too?) choose to use the internet is irelevant to everyone needing to doxx themselves online from now on.
