dating blogging fucking

I am working on an article about dating, blogging, and fucking with the lines...

If you either write personal blogs or have/had relationships with someone who does, what do you consider fair game? Where is the line drawn (ethical or legal) for someone sharing their experiences for a public viewing? What is legit and what is not...

-Where is the line drawn between flattery, caricature, entertainment, and truth?
Do you have permission to write only good things you feel or see about someone, and none of the other stuff?
-Does one have to ask permission if using someone in a story, even if it is set up in an anonymous way?
-Is there a difference between writers blogging their experiences and the fact that artists have always created work based on their experiences etc...(whats the diff. between a personal blog and a comedian sharing a fucked up story..think margaret cho, david cross. etc..)
-How does a writer bridge the divide between sharing and respect for those who do not choose to live their lives in the public realm?
-Are you reporting the facts with credible sources on a blog or is one re-interpreting one's life for artistic gain? Cuz the copyright laws and laws of privacy differ for the two...
-What differentiates blogging for art, for entertainment, for therapeutic reasons, or for a mishmash of all/any of the above...
-What do you consider healthy blogging? (what are the reasons you blog)
-Does having an audience encourage stagnation? Do your commenters "enable" you, as whichever character you yourself play online (the drinker, the slut, the workaholic..etc)
-What do you personally keep private in regards to your writing that you won't blog about? Why and what do we feel we have to share with an audience, be it coworkers, friends, or the blogopolis at large? Is it a desire to be "understood" or a search for some deeper connection with a community? Is it a reaction to alienation?

If anyone would like to share their opinion, experiences, or whathaveyou's with me, I would greatly appreciate that!
