While we're on this subject of rumors, i'm gonna take this opportunity to why i don't listen to them.
1. if i don't have first hand proof, it's a waste of my time and energy.
2. usually the person saying the "fact" has NO proof either.
3. when i hear a 'rumor' that seems serious, i ask FOR PROOF. if none is there, (see number one)
4. some people LIKE to spread rumors to divide a community OR to gain popularity OR a number of reasons.
5. if someone tells me a "story" and it's negative, i usually ask "did you go ask the person?" if they say no, (see number one)
also, often people who start & spread rumors have NO facts to back them up. so it's a wonder why anyone listens to them at all.
so my advice?
believe the best, ASK the person FIRST HAND YOURSELF, get the FACTS, and you will be much happier
it's so so so hard to track even the start of a rumor as ONE statement when passed thru the mouths of 5 ppl or even ONE can be so different.
that's why i really don't listen to them. if i did, i'd not do business anywhere, have NO friends, and life would be pretty lonely cuz i've heard "something" about almost everyone and every business that's been negative. i just choose to wait for my OWN experience OR hard cold facts.
ok well food for thought i hope
