I appreciate the sentiment, but don't you think participating in the rumours, even to the extent of being a willing receptacle for the information being disseminated, is actually part of the problem?
Gossip is ugly and a tool in the hands of those with malicious intent.
Yep...and that is where I was going with my question.

And opinions are like farts.... Everyone has one, if you let's one go, everyone knows about it, and at least one person leaves the room.

No, it is clear you can read, what is somewhat opaque however is wether you at all times fully come to terms with what you're reading, or have the ability to step outside your ill-informed even willful ignorance and narcissism to participate in the discussion on a contributory basis.

"I've something important to tell you," he said. "It's about your friend."
"That's very kind of you," Socrates said. "But, don't tell me just yet. I run all information through the Three Filters Test to ascertain if I want to know it."
"First is the filter of TRUTH. Whatever you want to tell me, have you seen or witnessed it first-hand?"
"I actually heard it from someone," the man said, "and, it is from a trusted source."
"Ok but that does not pass my first test," Socrates added, "since you don't know whether it's true."
"Second is the filter of GOODNESS. Is that a good statement you want to make about my friend?"
"Not really" said the acquaintance.
Socrates says "So, you want to tell me something bad about someone but don't know if it's true."
"The last is the filter of UTILITY"
"Is the statement about my friend going to be useful to me?"
"Not really as such. I just wanted to share"
"Well, if the information is not necessarily true, it is not good, and, it is of no use,"
Socrates concluded, "please, I don't want to know about it."

The Greek philosopher Socrates, was once stopped by an acquaintance at the market.

Love this.
Yet, some will call it argumentative...a non understanding that it leads to critical thinking and debate.
To pose a question and NOT thinking it be about one for, guilt and narcissism does make us read our own personal interpretation into writes...is telling of a critical thinker or not.
JE...a scholar of philosophy?...I say yes. Ur posts lean toward that.
And yes....off topic...AGAIN!
;D!
"Everyone has it and at least one will leave the room"
But as the saying goes (hypothetically)....
the one who left the fart will say something first or leave first because of guilt"
I try to apply that. I'm not always successful. If anything and everything we talk about passes those tests, the world will be rid of of gossip.
Agree and what are the intentions of telling you? (Sp or punter)...

I must be living under a rock.
What rumours and more so, what false rumours????
I can't believe I've been around so long and I haven't heard any.
Please share.

Argh, can someone tell me what false rumours and who left?
Did someone get pregnant by a punter? AIDS? Boyfriend interrupted the booking? What?
I'm having FOMO here.
