What Is a Gossip?

Daniel,

You said: 

"Well, I don't know how you define 'gossip'."

Let me explain the meaning I attach to the word, which is generaly  also clear by the way I use it. 

I guess you make gossips when you repeatedly show the differences among different groups of serious HPB students, as if these differences were irreconcilable.  

You might suggest a better way of expressing this. "Personalistic commentaries on differences  of views"?  If the word "gossip"  sounds too strong to you, I can drop it.  The fact will remain, though. 

Carlos.
