I don’t disagree, but as I said this is a social or societal issue. People in a society will make their own personal and group judgment about individuals. And I understand this will make some people uncomfortable. But sorry, that is human nature. It is not the role of government to regulate human nature. Just my opinion.

I subscribe to the “no evil tongue” doctrine. Gossip is what ruins us, on whole. Murdering a person’s reputation is the worst thing we can do short of actual murder, but it happens constantly and incessantly. I do all I can to avoid it.

I’m very acquainted with human nature. But you can’t go around redefining what behavior is criminal (i.e. calling good evil and evil good), or else society will collapse; and that falls into the purview of government, which as the Declaration of Independence states is “instituted among men … to secure these rights”, and not all human behavior that human nature tends towards is a right that God gave mankind although what is given from God is the right to choose whether for good to preservation of life or for evil to destruction.

And one does need to distinguish between evil tongue and good, especially in light of the good increasingly being suppressed by government-aligned media. The prophets of old often were killed for speaking good when the people heard it as evil.
