It might also depend on the nature of online interactions. In the past, I would easily find myself more aggressive online than in person with regards to theists (even when they share the same beliefs basically). And that could be because it seems easier for me to depersonalize them when I can't really see the person behind the screen but just their words.
Nowadays I try my best to stay calm when debating theists online and remind myself to treat them the same way I would treat my theistic friends and relatives in person. Kindness and respect.
