I use this blog to talk a lot about my personal life, my wife, my friends, and to bitch and moan a bit and clear my head. But what do you do when you want to talk about other bloggers?
What do you do when you have made friends with them but want to discuss what's going on in those relationships?
Do you start a new blog?
Do you say the truth and let the chips fall where it may?
Do you warn them that a topic is coming out?
Do you anonymize it so much that no one knows who you're talking about but the posts become endlessly vague?
How do we talk about the people that we talk about other people with?
We take pride in the fact that we are "honest and open" in these blogs, but when we want to talk about each other, we always pull our punches because, bloggers are people too.

Say the truth and let the chips fall where they may. That, or keep quiet. People are gonna do what they're gonna do (alas).
I write what I want to write. If they can't handle it, that's their problem. Or find someone else to vent to.
It is a dilemma many of us have had, for sure. It's something I've had to struggle with. Knowing that Rob reads my blog, I tend to avoid any topics other than him and bf. But there are other things I wouldn't mind blogging about.
dilemmas dilemmas.
I like to thing that I write with a certain amount of independance, but I find myself taking certain topics off the list to "keep the peace" with a couple of key people in my circle. Maybe I don't really need to, but I do.
Perhaps a lack of courage, or maybe I'm just trying to be nice? I don't know.
