Personally, I am a "what you see is what you get" type of person. I do not "act" any way in particular. I am who I am. Some days I am playful and a little cheeky. Some days I am very serious. But how I am online, is pretty much the person I am in real life. I am friendly, outgoing, and will talk to most anyone. I am non discriminatory, and just generally like most everyone. I see no reason to put up a "fake" front and try to act like something or someone I am not.
There are those who do, however, and for those people I say do as you will. As long as it hurts no one. And as for you Cowboy, I can tell you are pretty darn genuine. And I like that in a person. I don't think you take online too seriously...I think like many of us, you just want to know the real person behind the keyboard.
