The principle is fine. That's why I left LJ as my primary blogging site months ago. But there are people on my FL who have made a big stinking deal about being afraid that people will betray the confidentiality of locked posts.
It goes back to my aggravation with folks not fully understanding the privacy--and lack thereof--on the Internet. If you say something, it's like shouting it on a street corner. Even if you say something in a locked post, it's like saying something in the middle of a party. If one doesn't want people either repeating or hearing what he or she says (or doesn't trust that they won't do so by accident), I strongly suggest that those folks restrict the invites.
