I may do that now, make friends-only posts about people in the friends-group if I need to vent. Because realistically, nearly everyone on my flist is someone I talk to or am likely to talk to in rl, so it's not different from coming to work and complaining about someone's stupidity. I still worry that I will offend the people involved, but maybe if they don't understand that I am saying what I need to say (and I'm not holding myself up as the saint of all that is pure and wonderful, so feel free to bitch about me if you want) rather than saying it in an inappropriate situation.
I mean, it's well and good to say that I'll do what I want, but it's like listening to a pyromaniac in the midst of angst about lighting a fire and saying, "Oh, look, BP's having a sale on gas!" Not appropriate to the situation. And as you in particular know, I tend to get very Vulcan/impassionate about a lot of emotional topics.
