How does your internet persona differ from your face-to-face personality? Do you interact with people differently on the internet than you would face to face? How so? Yes...I know.....the second and third questions are a re-phrasing of the first...that's in case someone doesn't "get the drift" of the first question...

I would say other than the fact that i'm a lot less shy here than i am face-to-face, there is no difference.
I'm pretty much the same funny/sarcastic person in real life. I am definitley more of a rebel online than I am in real life. I also think I flirt more online but my wife says I'm always flirting...
I'm a bit more bold in reality. I tend to pull punches here, because all of us have issue's that need mending or addressed. Certain reactions to things said here are to be expected since most of us have been repressed for so long.
Noone can see my facial reactions, body language, or voice tone. It makes my personality stand out much more.
In person I am quite shy with people I don't know well
and I swear more than I do on-line
other than that what you see is what you get
I am pretty much the same.

since I have met nos I second his post - nice guy
I'm basically the same... only a bit more shy.
It is much easier for me to express myself via the written word than verbally. Hence, I tend to be much less of a conversationalist in real time than in cyberspace. This is likely why I have chosen to become an author. I dread when my book comes out and I have to do readings/book signings. I will either frighten or bore everyone!
