For instance, lets say Jane lied about being struck at work, saying Nancy threw something at her, and because she lied about it Nancy, an innocent person got wrote up, if that person began telling everyone what Jane did, would it be considered gossip even though she was telling the truth? Define what gossip is in your opinion.
I agree Anaise, but how do you know whether someone is gossiping or spreading facts if you were not involved first hand? Is this when you determine who is gossiping and who is not based upon your personal preference?
