If people unload on you, you have every right to unload from yourself. I fully agree on the terms that if someone pulls you in, you ARE part of it now. The person has given you the confidence by emotionally attaching you to it.
The only catch, which I think has been mentioned, is there is the confidence issue. People who speak to you are speaking to you and probably don't want the rest of the world to know.
Private friends lists are a pain, because how can you justify which friends goes on which lists to read want kind of entry?
On LJ you can make entries Private. They can only be viewed by you and you only.
Or you could make a friends-only journal where it's purpose is SOULY for that. If people join, they join knowing they may be openly discussed. That way you are cleared (and perhaps disable commenting or something).
And on a totally different level, you are always, ALWAYS more than welcome to discuss any topic with me in full confidence. One thing I find in us is to be able to discuss in a very diplomatic, intelligent level. I've brought my petty issues to you, and it would only equal to extend you the same invitation.
I think I've successfully rambled on your LJ enough...
