If a friend of mine asked me directly what I knew about someone, the first thing out of my mouth would be "my personal experience with this person is..........". Unless I had never met the person, then I would say, "I do not know this person" regardless of what I have heard someone else say about them. I put no merit in second hand information. I do not care about gossip, never have. I tend to get a bit rude when someone begins to talk smack about anyone else. Honestly, it is none of my business. I also do not care what is said about me. I learned a long time ago, what someone else thinks about me is NONE OF MY BUSINESS!!! I am an adult. At least I try to be an adult. As long as Bob thinks I am great, the rest is gravy.
