The New Republic has a gossipy article about Internet newshound Matt Drudge's penchant for privacy:
What is driving Drudge to seclusion? Those who know him say that part of the reason he has disappeared from public view is that he is so bothered by the media's prurient interest in his personal life. "He wants no part of a lot of this," the friend told me. "He sees it as nonsense. He doesn't have respect for the way people have tried to write about him."

Someone at the zero-readership New Republic rag needed to fill some empty columns of print and needed to attract some badly needed readers - Drudge made a convenient target and one that would get attention. That is the state of the fourth estate. Anyone who thinks it’s about “an informed citizenry” is a believer of myths.

Why don’t you guys leave him alone?
He is doing his job and does it well! He is entitled to his privacy. Whether he wants to go public or not is entirely up to him!
It doesn’t make any difference to me as long he does his job!

LOL! Just telling you what I heard man. Not saying it’s true....

Actually, when someone DOES print something prurient about him, Drudge puts it on his own site with the siren. It's a form of self-innoculation.
Reference
I will never forget the siren banner: "Matt Drudge Has Sex with Eggs"
At the end of the report he points out that he was in an entirely different state at the time the acts in the article were supposed to have taken place.
Drudge is not concerned about his reputation in the ordinary way. That's why he cannot be easily taken down.
IF he has deviant inclinations, you'd think he'd get a "beard" to disguise them.
I'm of the mind that it's more like the old excuse that Superman always had for not marrying Lois Lane. It would put her life in peril. That, combined with a preference for seclusion, cats and doing things his way that would really annoy most women.
