QOTD
Please take it as a given, if I have not given full details of a situation, a person's identity, or whatever else I happen to be writing about, that I have my reasons for not doing so. What I choose to divulge is up to me, not my readers. It is rude and intrusive for readers to demand further details, whether they do so publicly in a comment or privately in an e-mail. So please don't. If it were any of your business, I'd tell you. —

There are times when I am deliberately obscure about a posting. Most of the time people respect my reasons for obscurity, but sometimes people are curious. Invariably they've had sufficient social clue to ask in such a way as not to offend. Sometimes they get an answer, sometimes they don't.
But I've never had someone "demand further details".
(No insult or disparagement intended; I'm merely observing the difference in my reader population.)

I've yet to have anyone demand further details about me, though I have had requests from strangers for technical support, and one person who left an inelegant and obscenity-laden attack on a third party in the comment field on an unrelated post.

I think in general, people are nosy and don't always realize when they're stepping over bounds. People have "lives" (as in "get a life") to differing degrees and some people's just sound so much more interesting when they're writing about theirs then others living their own.
