Gossip: Let's talk about it.

[Oremus Pro Invicem]

I thought the standard around here was that talk should be 2 out of 3: true and necessary, or true and kind, or kind and necessary, etc.

There are times when it is absolutely necessary to say something bad about a person, because that information is important for decision-making or whatnot. What I'd like to learn from this thread is where we draw that line. Talking about other people can't always be gossip. So, what is? And what isn't?

Jimmy Akin has a great blog post which gives advice in distinguishing where the line should be drawn.
