I guess there is something wrong with me when I feel this way because Sarah Wert, a psychologist at Yale said in the New York Times article, “Not participating in gossip at some level can be unhealthy and abnormal.”

Yeah, leave it to the psychologists to demean what should be considered a virtue.

Exactly...Unforunately many people (The Gossip Mongers) think gossip is *good therapy* for what truly ails them which is negative,meaningless and useless conversation..These are people that actually are ignored in the full spectrum of day to day living.

Hopefully some see the errors of thier ways, but so many people are caught up in malicious gossip in a group setting. Perhaps in a different situation they might be different people.
