I think my online persona is simply an amplified me. If I'm in a good mood in real life, I'm in a wonderful mood online, and same goes for the bad. Because there are no repercussions (well, maybe a few) for being anything or anybody you want online, I tend toward the extreme, exploring my darkest desires and letting my anger and laughter flow. There are no checks and balances here, like there are in the real world, nothing physical to stop you from expressing yourself, no fear of retribution. That's why people feel comfortable talking to complete strangers in chat rooms, but don't even know their nighbors first name.
