It takes two people to have a conversation. If you choose, you can choose not to be a part of that conversation, that's all I'm saying. Gossip or no.

I understand that some people's tolerance level for these kinds of things is pretty low, but anytime you get a large group of people together like here, you're going to have things like gossip. I can't stop it, nobody can stop it -- it's a normal part of large group dynamics.

You can, however, choose not to be a part of it or engage in it. I acknowledge that may be difficult or very hard to do sometimes, but it's really up to you, not me or someone else reading everyone's private messages to one another! (Kind of defeats the concept of "private" too, don't ya think?)
