I think your metaphor of chatting on the internet is very apt. You never really know who is on the other end so advice must be evaluated based on content rather than authority. You must always exercise your discernment at all times. For me, the fact the the Law of One material explicitly advised that we disregard it when it didn't sit well with us, made it more credible. I liked that it explicitly is not authoritarian in its message, rather just taking the tone of friendly counsel. Also for me, it seems to fit really well with reality. Ultimately that's the test. I don't take it as gospel and I think it explicitly did not want to be taken as gospel.
Always you must exercise your own discernment. Just like on the internet as you've alluded.
