You really make it seem so easy with your pneaertstion but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!
I talk about my family on my blog, and make jokes about them, pertty regularly. Sometimes I'll tell a story about something I did with family or friends, as long as it's fairly light-hearted. I am much more protective of other people's privacy for grief, if that makes sense. If I were going to talk about something more personal and serious that involved other people, I'd probably clear it with them first. I try to think before I write personal things about other people on the interwebs, and to remember I'm not the only person affected by any given event.
