PRIM,

My fear would be that the blog debate might lead to more of a disinhibition effect–that is, people feel more free to say things over the internet that they might not say in person. Therefore,it might make the relationship more strained, not less so. You will have to live with the father in law as long as your son is married (hopefully, for quite some time!) so it might not be the best way to relate. Others may have a different point of view but that is mine, FWIW.
