Another reason to share with a fellow leader: the Insider is probably trying to do the same thing with other leaders too. Then it can get even worse, because he will talk about a split in the leadership if you don't say exactly the same thing in your half-formed thoughts.
Knowing how to relate to the pastor and his family is awkward for members. There are pastors who sermons I enjoy listening to but who are uncomfortable to talk with in person.
