I agree with this. I'm quite happy to use my blog to rant/whine/go all emo-kitteh because it's MY blog. If others don't like it then they don't have to read. That said, I think there's a balance and I tend to r/w/g a e-k using filters so that only my actual friends or people I think would understand can read it.

It still annoys me that people will use their blog to vent and then do nothing about the situation though. Not even use the writing to reflect or make themselves feel better. Some folks do seem to be caught in a spiral of venting which doesn't benefit them at all.
