What’s the topic, George? Peeves, what’s your opinion? How about you, Madama? And of course, you, too, author Sandra!
GW Rule #50
Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the disparagement of any.
PEEVES
Be careful where your information comes from. Is it gossip? Is it meant to spread stories or to hurt someone?
MADAMA
Lot’s a people want to pass on quick stories before they necessarily know the truth. Be careful you’re not one of them.
SANDRA
Being quick to judgement can also mean that you can get “egg on your face” which means getting embarrassed once the truth comes out. If you easily believe gossip you can also be easy to lie to.
