Gossip, Fact or Opinion...
How do you distinguish these three.
Say for instance, I am recounting a story about someone that I observed...a story which is potentially slanderous. Does this count as gossip, or is it a fact according to how I saw it, or is it my opinion about what happened?
Or if I'm voicing how I feel about a person's character, based on a negative experience I had with them...is this merely my opinion, or is it the beginning of spreading gossip?
