[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just cannot understand why the reluctance to name the names of these public figures. It's so annoying, and it makes your posts pointless, this is an anonymous board...[/quote]

If you're the type of person who's going to spill about your friendship with a very famous person on an internet message board, you're probably not the kind of person who's going to become friends with a seriously famous person. I am good friends with two very famous Hollywood women that people are always speculating about, but I value my friendships with them more than I value the brief bit of anonymous attention I would get here.[/quote]

But simply saying you (an anonymous person) are friends with him or her isn't really selling the person out or violating his or her privacy. You're not giving out any information about the celebrity.  Doing an AMA about your famous friend would be different.[/quote]

It's not violating their privacy in that sense, but it is a violation of the friendship because I'd be using their name and my connection to them to get attention for myself (even if anonymously). For someone whose privacy is routinely violated by people around them, someone using the friendship that way is a huge red flag that they're not to be trusted, because who knows when they might start to share more information to get more attention. A big part of why I've been good friends with them for so long is because I am a vault, most people I know don't have any clue I even know these women, let alone how close we are.[/quote]
