Do you think that Gossip would efect how you thought of someone?

 

[Steel Tiger]

Unless the truth is seriouslty cool gossip always seems more interesting doesn't it? Though I would like to think it doesn't, I know that gossip affects how I perceive people.

I think that gossip has taken the place of social grooming as a way for people to interact without any real input.

Of course gossip often trumps truth!

Does the Gossip and the partial truths or partial data have an impact on the perception(s) of a person or event?

I certainly would believe so.
