I think you pretty much summed it up, to be honest. It's hard to apply a set of social rules where physical presence/body language/eye contact is involved to a world where none of that occurs, and maybe not even in real time.
It seems to be okay to create drama, after all if you get pissed off with someone or something goes wrong, there's always the ability to block them or go offline. The way you treat and speak to someone online though, I think, depends on how involved you are with them irl. If you've never met them in person, then it makes for a larger feeling of detachment as you described. I could go on, but I'd just be repeating what you've already said. :P
