I agree. It sounds dangerous.

It reminds me of the following advice about 'Playing and Staying Safe' I read here.

'If your potential partner says any of the following, RUN:

I don't want you to talk to anyone else about me.
You have no right to ask other people about me.
If I find out that you talked to others about me I'll never have anything to do with you again.
You should only trust what I tell you and not listen to anyone else.
Yes, what they told you was true, but I am a different person now.
Everything people have told you about me is a lie.'

Real life community or online community – one could say it applies to both.
