Yes, but it can be devastating if you feel unheard. In this way, it in no way differs from a diary, of course, but one can't honestly claim one starts a blog for the sake of keeping a diary, which just happens to be published online. One does so for the sake of communing, as you have said yourself, and because one wants feedback. So it's shit when that doesn't happen. But, yes, nonetheless, cathartic, because you're getting out what you want out, presumably. Sometimes, it can be a waste of time, I suppose. Sometimes I write something because I think I ought, and then that's clearly bollocks. But even that isn't wicked. OK, so maybe it stops me doing something else, but that's not inherently evil, oder? So, yes, blog away. It certainly can't be doing any harm (famous last words).
