A few days after starting this blog, I'm starting to think about what I'm writing about. My moral started hurting me a little, making me think it's not right to use people and gossiping as an entertainment. So, I researched a bit more into "Gossip". The results I got from Google were:
- chitchat: light informal conversation for social occasions
- dish the dirt: wag one's tongue; speak about others and reveal secrets or intimacies; "She won't dish the dirt"
- a report (often malicious) about the behavior of other people; "the divorce caused much gossip"
- chew the fat: talk socially without exchanging too much information; "the men were sitting in the cafe and shooting the breeze"
- a person given to gossiping and divulging personal information about others
I thought surely it can't be a good thing! So I bumped into a university gossip website based in US, that got closed down recently. I read through the reports from the blog, and figured out that it was not a gossip website. It was a rumor website, where nasty things were said after people, with their full names on display, and were posted by anonymous people. It had gotten out of control, and had turned into a rumor place, where people could easily say terrible things about their ex-girlfriend, or a person they don't like.
So I figured out, that what I'm writing about is not so bad. I am writing about open gossip. I research it, making sure it's true. I make sure my source is reliable, and I think these gossips help the people that I write about, showing that they should be careful. I stop the rumor by telling the truth. I don't talk behind anybody's back.
So I don't gossip, I just give out the open and true news with some of my opinions!
