Apparently I have the same personality type as Einstein... damn... I'm just a few physics theses behind him. I'll catch up soon. I believe there people don't develop a single online persona, but rather, that somewhat different online personas develop for every online medium that the person uses. I would theorise (with no supporting evidence of course :D) that the online persona of someone using a blog/facebook/myspace is much closer than their offline persona than if that someone is playing quake or World of Warcraft. Leading from that, a person's offline persona, quake persona, and facebook persona may have different traits and properties. And of course this gets even more complicated when "role-playing" is involved. Is role-playing done on the conscious level, or is it done in the subconscious as well? Maybe someone else may provide some wisdom in this area.
