Thoughts may be right at the moment but not definitely right at next minute.
How gossip starts? By mutual agreements of two or more persons, or, sometimes more frequently, by misunderstanding. Do you want to punish someone? Yeah, you gossip. (Gossip just like a computer virus, intentionally or untentionally) But, who will be hurt? You. Want to revenge? Revenge is a solution but never be a good one.
don’t take anything personally, yes, then you will have immunity from hurt. Don’t make assumption, yes, then you will not gossip and will not take things personally. haha, still need to learn.
