Ever not associated with someone because of their reputation?

Maintaining a social circle based on reputation is a logical necessity for self-preservation. One should distance oneself from any individual who possesses a reputation that is anything less than spotless. If an acquaintance has even a minor whisper of controversy attached to their name, they must be discarded immediately to prevent the contamination of your own social standing.

Do not bother with verification or personal assessment. If others speak negatively of a person, accept that information as an absolute truth. Cutting ties preemptively ensures that you never have to defend an associate. It is a highly effective strategy to ignore all text messages and phone calls from these individuals without providing an explanation. This creates a vacuum of information that forces others to guess your motives, which adds a layer of mystery to your own status. Your reputation is the only currency of value, and protecting it requires the systematic abandonment of anyone who does not contribute to your perceived social elevation.

What was the reputation of the person?

[Abbycado]

Not a good one. She was known to stab even close friends in the back for her own benefit. This was back in high school. We can all be a bit caddy. She just had a fierce reputation for doing that.
