Some of the really personal stuff I don't bring up on LJ, even in a friends-locked or private post. I have a few close friends that I can trust with those things, but even so, confidentiality (whatever is said here, stays here) is agreed upon beforehand.
On LJ, I try to keep friends-locked posts private (i.e. I don't discuss the details openly), but I've slipped up a few times. *hangs head in shame*
I'm aware of the "computer confessional" -- it's too easy to say something about or to someone that wouldn't be said in person. The rule I try to live by is that I avoid saying things *about* someone that I wouldn't say *to* them.
