QOTD

[redbird]

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. — misia

What I find interesting is what the quote says about the reader population.

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.)
