This kind of behavior change you're describing is called "context shift" and it's taught as a skill in both families and classrooms. We behave differently in different situations. A blog is a different situation from walking down a street or sitting at a bar or giving a presentation at work, and we should. It's not duplicity or falsehood: you actually are all of those people. You're just more complex than one set of behaviors. I don’t think blogs are a facade, really.
