What are the positive and negative associations that you and those around you have with blogging?  Have attitudes changed over time?

Positive -- This large world is smaller and I'm exposed to people I might have never gotten to know, on some level.
Negative -- Thing's aren't always as they seem.  Text always gives so much and we're the masters of our own identity.... Show what we wish, obscure what we're insecure with or simply choose not to divulge.  It can be innocent as well as dangerous... Depending on how deeply you thrust yourself down this wabbit hole.

Positive -- You can share your gripes with the world when it's the last thing you'd do in reality.  It can feel safe to spill it if you've gone the lengths or think that there's no way it can be tracked to you.
Negative -- Time and time again, this has proven to be so wrrrrong!

Positive -- There's a bit of a luxury that comes with blogging.  Time.  It's not a true to form real time sort of medium.
Negative -- Sometimes the luxury of time can make the more obtuse, rude, and cruel seem rather sharp after using time to verbally enrich posts used to skewer others.

Positive -- I don't feel like writing anymore.  I'm bored.
Negative -- ?
