Mission: Bad taste

"Gossip is like herpes, it spreads rapidly from person to person.  So keep my name out yo' mouth."

Gossip.  We all indulge in it, let's not kid ourselves.  It's completely normal and human to want to know what's going on with people we know (or think we know, such as celebrities).  I believe that it's pretty innocent to gossip or "discuss matters" but what crosses the line into maliciousness is contributing to said gossip.

All I'm saying is that if you don't know for sure, if you haven't heard it from the horse's mouth, you just can't make stuff up.  Yes, you may have your opinions, suspicions or theories, but the conclusions you may come to are educated guesses, at most.

So gossip, gossip away.  Heaven knows I'm no stranger to the sport, whether I am the gossiper or gossipee.  Just remember, if you don't know the whole story, you might as well not even tell it.
