Gossiping is a part of our culture it is basically hardwired into us.(gossiping) is a survival skill. Part of our protection of individuals members or cliques.   Gossiping should be treated as our appendix is attached to our bowels useless but needed for survival.  
People use gossip to warn people about other people even if it is true or not. Sometimes people are afriad of differnet people or use gossip to get back at people in a way that is safe for the gossip .   The casn use gossip as a form of negative control.

The person who acted on the information is too scared to confess it.   Another round won for gossip.
