By your example: If Satoshi’s friends expressed a concern for his privacy, then you should respect that, and back the fuck off!
I don't really care about "friends' comments". If satoshi wants to share something, he's free to do so by himself.
Speculating about Satoshi based on public information is not analogous to my above question. If somebody was fishing for The Real True Secret Story from people who were more or less close to Satoshi, then that would be a matter of grave concern to me. Satoshi does NOT deserve that!
I'm curious, but I accept satoshi's right to privacy. His choice. But even though I know people have been digging for years, I'm not at all concerned about it. First, there's nothing I can do about it, and second, as long as the information is publicly available, let them try.
I didn’t pry into Lauda’s details, either—even though she was my friend
Is that something Lauda has posted in public? I wouldn't call anyone on this forum "my friend", because I basically know nothing about them and I've never met anyone from this forum in person. Some are friend
ly, some are rude, and some even turned being rude into an art. There are people I appreciate, and people who's contributions deserve to be on my ignore list, but I wouldn't call anyone a friend. Also not an enemy for that matter (hence the thick skin thing).
On the flipside, I would have given her my full dox with KYC ID, selfies, and fingerprints if she had asked!
Interesting, that doesn't sound like what I've seen from you at all.
Too much drama

How hard can it really be to say "no" to someone? If someone asks you a question, they shouldn't need a
disclaimer telling them they can choose not to answer. That should be common sense! The first interview was mine, it's this easy:
Lauda made choices, including building a reputation they parlayed into great business opportunities for themselves. They also made choices to remain secure and unlinked to an irl personality, to a great degree I imagine
I have my own opinion on Lauda, just like I have on many other people. This is fine
