I wonder if we should define gossip as merely confession of others' sins, because that would prohibit any conversation about other people's faults (and we do that on PB all the time). Would it be more truthful to say that the bringing up of others' sins is wrong (or transforms into gossip), IF you're not first committed to correct yourself in regards to that specific sin that you're accusing your neighbor of, AND IF you're not going to do anything about your neighbor's sin but just watch quietly from the side and let him harden/perish in his sin?
