Ok, why do we tend to think of gossip as a bad thing?

Gossip has the potential to turn into a bad thing. Stories get change and expanded upon so much from the first telling that by the time it comes back to the FIRST person the story has a whole new life.
I spent time with the Black Grad Student members and talked about dating, mentioned a FRIEND (not boyfriend, hell didn't even identify sex now that I think about it) that was coming to visit and two months later I was speaking to someone in the group that informed me I had been in a longterm relationship all this time.
That was gossip run amuck but at least I didn't have kids in the story.
