GFY personalities vs. "real" personality

You always see people on GFY saying that someone is 'just an asshole on GFY, but in person he's a real class act and a GREAT guy!'

Some notable callous GFY characters like SleazyDream, AaronM, Amp, BradShaw, p1mpd0gg come to mind (feel free to make your own list)

I'll concede that everyone I've met from online is pretty different in person from their online personality.

Do we really believe though that a person's online demeanor is completely separate from their TRUE self?? Do webmasters who haven't met SleazyDream really believe that he's a swell guy in person, or maybe still the same rude asshole but too afraid to talk trash in person?

Surely how someone acts online must be somewhat representative of who they really are?

Anybody have any input
