Well poetry in itself is a bit different from how we typically behave... a bit like an over exaggeration that we may find necessary or useful in some respect. Some find it even more beneficial to express the poetry verbally, or even visually which starts to transfer over into the playwright category, while others may simply want to leave it up to others to interpret it however they can.
The internet is very much a place of release, and I gravitated toward this forum initially because I felt no one wanted to hear what I have to say. Forums force people to listen. I still feel as though almost no one gives a shit about anything I say, but I've since learned that if people aren't willing to simply listen to me, then they aren't worth my time anyway.
By being more "vulnerable and uninhibited" do you mean just being yourself? Being what you want to be? Because when I hear "vulnerable and uninhibited" I think of that person at a party whose had a few too many and might be going home with the wrong person. That's not something anyone aspires toward, I don't think.
I try to be as much myself on and off the computer, but I do find fewer barriers on a computer than I do off. The down side is that online I am being perceived very one dimensionally, whereas off I am better able to express myself in a variety of ways and the depth at which I am perceived is much greater.
