Like Spazzychic, there are some posts I f-lock because my ex actually has me friended on LJ. (Gods only knows why.) There are some things I don't want him to know about. :P
And, while I'm ordinarily a very open person, there are certain details I want kept only to my close personal friends, or sometimes they involve another person and can't be said publically. (And there's a difference between ranting and asking for advice than talking behind someone's back, imo.) I have enough close friends that on some issues, it's just easier to use LJ than contact them all via IM.
Though, I get what you're saying. I don't filter like some people do. I have a Close list, a Trusted list (people I would trust with my life), and novel filters. And that's really about it. I think everything else is public. :P
