The Bloggers With The Most To Say
On telling stories about people from real life...
A few years ago, it must've been easy to talk shit about people in blogs without having them find out.
But now, with Facebook friendships and the like, it's hard. Does anybody have any guidelines for when acquaintances of theirs would make for really good stories, but you don't want it to be too easy to find out your'e writing about them? Do you have a timeframe for which you wait? Or do you just deprive the world of your hilarious stories?

I don't write about a 'person', but instead choose to write amalgams. I combine similar personalities and tell "based on true stories" about them. It makes it easier, I think. It respect's people's privacy but still gets my social commentary/point/rant across.
Of course, some people don't like the fact that I'm a little dishonest, because these 'names' I use aren't real people, but a combination.
