If you heard a nasty rumor about someone dear to you, who was in a service position to you? And they were going to be performing their service very soon, and you didn’t believe the rumor? Would you tell them what you’d heard? Or confront the rumorer (who is a known drama queen)? Who you don’t even know, but you heard this slander through a third party. I didn’t tell the rumoree what I’d heard, because I thought it would really hurt them. And I don’t want them thinking that I believe it, not for a second. Aughhh!

I think I would keep my mouth shut except for maybe telling the intermediary rumormonger that you don’t want to hear unfounded gossip. I definitely wouldn’t tell the subject of the rumor at this point– if other people are repeating it besides this third party, then maybe, but not now. Auugh is right.
