Though I would wonder...
If we met in RL, would you continue to refer to me as Sir out of the notion of "proper, respectful etiquette"?
As likely as not. I don't put "Sir" in every sentence, but I believe I already mentioned that when I was in the military, it was remarked upon that I used it even in speaking to those I outranked. In other jobs, I'm known as the one who says "Mr. Smith" or "Ms. Jones" rather than addressing people by their first names.
I've actually tried creating an "Internet Persona" and I'm told I don't do it very well.
Too much of who I really am always seems to come through.

But...I wont contribute the lack or presence of it to meaning the person is a better or worse dominant/Master/slave/submissive. Its as, I have said, ultimately very trite and insignificant to me.
I think we're in basic agreement here. At best, all it tells you if someone follows certain conventions of capitalization is that they want to be seen a certain way.
And You are quite right that a lot of what we see online of people is not what we'd see meeting them face to face.
