Just tell them that you don't know, and if they really want to know they should ask the person themselves.

First, those people are the ones being rude! Second, just tell them you don't know, aren't comfortable discussing them behind their back, or whatever else seems appropriate. You owe no explanations!

I hate that too! You feel like you're being pumped for information. I would tell them to go ask them or that I don't know if I'm being nice. If you want to be more forceful then you can say "Why do you want to know?" or "Why would you ask me instead of asking him/her?" Good luck!

I dislike that as well. Just politely say to them, "I don't feel comfortable disclosing details about this person, if you need to find something out, you should ask them...", or something like that to let them know that you don't want to participate in those conversations anymore.

Tell then its none of their business what you think and tell them if they are that concerned, go and ask the person themselves.

Ask them why do they want to know.... Then tell them that it is none of their business.

maybe this would work. I try to make it a practice to not ...
my Grandmother used to say "if you can't say something nice about somebody, say nothing at all."
she was smart
"uhh ... you might ask them yourself, I'm not really sure"
