I do things online that I wouldn't offline, but to be honest, I'm nicer online than in real life. But that's mostly because I will talk to pretty much anyone online, in real life, I keep to myself and don't talk to many people at all.

I also think it's because the internet is kind of a "world culture" instead of just American, or just European, or just Asian. So it's better to be nice to whoever you're talking to because your culture might not work in the exact same way (and usually doesn't) as the person you're speaking to. An example would be: using sarcasm to an older japanese gentlemen would make him mad at you instead of giving the joking sense that it does in US culture.
