Whether
a negative story about another person is true or not, it's slander if
it's used as an excuse to treat the person poorly, and as a way to
destroy their reputation in a family, a community, or a business. People
who gossip and slander DON'T CARE if something is true or not, and they
certainly don't "check their facts". People who trash others behind
their backs and who spread rumors are after one thing: ATTENTION. Those
who go around calling another a 'drama queen' are the real thing."
