How do you handle gossips?

[PeppermintPatty]

Sad to read that was your experience here @PeppermintPatty hopefully, it doesn't happen any more.

Thanks. I didn’t say this to get sympathy.
This gossiping back and forth won’t ever stop. It’s the nasty part of humanity and it isn’t just this forum. It happens everywhere.

No worries @PeppermintPatty I didn't think you were, I was genuinely sorry to read of your experience.

But it always is. I had one person who used to PM me about various members and NONE of it was ever nice. When I’d ask them to stop , I became the one gossiped about . None of it was nice. It was all nasty. Oddly enough when this person posted on the forum, it was all roses and sunshine.

Seriously! When have you ever been gossiped to where the subject matter was nice. I don’t care what the definition says., I’ve been here 6 years and I’ve never once had gossip where the person gossiped about was nice. Never.

People who claim gossip isn’t all nasty are gossips trying to make themselves feel better about goss
