No thanks; the gossip is sickening and sordid enough in its current context; there’s no need to spread it.

Seems strange that she hasn't lectured anyone about the nude photos in this thread, since that outrageous "gossip" has been proven completely false. ;-)

There’s gossip and there’s gossip, two totally different kinds. One serves what you want to hear, and the other doesn’t. You have to learn how to pick and choose, because if you don’t, you have to read all the articles and reports and go though all the documents you can find, and that takes time and effort.
Cherry-picking through gossip is quicker and a whole lot less trouble.
Only problem with that is, when it comes to debate, selective gossip is all you’ve got and it doesn’t wash. It ends up as he said she said, lots of animousity and reports of abuse to the poor overworked mods.
