Because it can give you some idea of the way others think.

The internet is not some sort of Fraternity or club. It's a business place. You do not go on a "Chat board" and ask something of a complete stranger and expect it to be some sort secret from the "brotherhood".

If you spoke to a stranger in a bar, would you tell him something you would not want repeated?

He was asking me for 50% off on a $75 deal and telling me what my competition give him. Or was he just lying?

Neither seem "very nice or professional" where I come from.

I did not reveal his name so only he knows who he is.
