- On the contrary, Tracy, I must apologize if I came on too strong against
- the kind of gossip that can go on in small groups of people. I didn't
- mean to direct it at you, particularly. I was just jumping up on the
- soapbox. I really hate gossip. There is someone here that used to try
- to bring me into alot of gossip. It took me a while to figure out that
- all of those gossipy perceptions were actually her own, and hers alone.
- If anyone out there has a sense for interpersonal relationships and
- communication, you can probably guess how difficult it is to stop gossip
- once it gets started. And yes, I can probably operationally define gossip.
- But do I have to?
