I'll own up to that depending on the definition. I do talk a lot about people but I do have some ground rules. First, I will never say anything behind someone's back that I won't say to their face. Second, while I will justify some instances, I try not to use gossip to change someone's opinion about someone else in a negative way. Third, I always try to use somewhat constructive criticism when talking shit about someone. Fourth, if I don't respect you as a person, I can be a complete asshole.

I'm the same way as you Monster on how I like to hear almost everything, relationship issues where I get thrown in the middle is a huge exception, because I like to tease people a lot and if I hear something funny I will usually give them a hard time about it as long as I know they won't get offended. Though, I am a critical person and I will break people down along with their faults and insecurities so I do tend to talk a lot of shit, but as I said earlier, I will never lie about someone or say something that I won't own up too. I am also very good at keeping secrets.

Generally, I see men and women gossip and lie the same amount but they just do it in different ways.

It's our office manager's management style.:yelsick:

Common style these days.
