Do you feel obligated to accurately portray yourself in internet communication? Do you feel that others have that obligation?

it came up in my mind just now in some post about a serial killer, where some people felt justified casting suspicion upon that dude in his 50s who makes "creepy art."
or this other thread which was about someone dying, and there was an IRREVERANT pun comment that got downmodded "for taking the situation too lightly."
I feel that there is a certain disconnect, and I really like feeling like I can say whatever I want to say without concern for how it will affect other peoples' view of me. I end up in conversations a lot different than the ones I have face-to-face, with friends or strangers, because there's more rules of conduct in place there.
Just wondering your thoughts on it.
I don't feel obligated to accurately portray myself in public let alone on the internet.
