And when I say gossip I don’t just mean ordinarily-talking about people who aren’t there (like any normal person living in the world would) or a bit of good-natured ribbing but (rather) this business of dirt-talking people you either don’t know very well or aren’t actually confirmed as true (from benign rumours to massive smear campaigns). Do you avoid it and people who seem to get their energy from such indulgence like the plague ('who is that mad verbal diarrhoeic trying to get me involved in drama what ain't got nowt to do wi. me?') or are you privy to ‘toxic’ tidbiting, yourself?
