Her definition: A Dianna-defined busybody is anybody who views what someone else does in the public square and doesn't look the other way.?

An integral part of my definition is that the person not only NOT look away, but then, gossip about what he/she has seen.

There is, IMO, a difference between telling people that you saw the kindergarten teacher murder her neighbor and telling them that she was having dinner with someone who was NOT her husband!

Please report illegal activity. If a teacher's behavior isn't of your standard, remove your child and keep your mouth shut.

Let's apply this standard of yours in a parallel manner to FREEPIN. If I was to adopt your standard, I guess I could say to you:

Please report verbally abusive activity to the moderator. If a poster's comments isn't of your standard, remove your eyes and keep your keyboard silent.

(The nerve of people who say, "Yup, I've got water pollution comin' thru my pipes. I'm just going to shut off the faucets & go buy bottled water...who the hell cares about my neighbors having the same thing piped in?)
