Do you consider Vinny G. to be your friend?
If you do you have no justification for telling everyone something that he confided in you and specifically asked you to keep to yourself. His motivation for keeping it secret isn't relevant.
If you don't consider him a friend then it doesn't matter.
I have my reasons for releasing this information, and maybe you are right, we are not close enough for me to care about the ramifications. But again, what's the big deal, it's not like I did anything to hurt him...Unless, he really is not hurt......
I don't think you brainiacs are getting it....The people who get it are the ones staying quiet, but again, thanks for asking.
