Taken together, the results of the study show that "when we observe someone behave in an immoral way, we get frustrated," according to Willer. "But being able to communicate this information to others who could be helped makes us feel better."

Well based on this study let the gossiping begin. It appears better if it is true and when you're done you'll feel better.

Isn't gossip wonderful. Yes I read that about the "critical role in the maintenance of social order" but there was a codicil with that.
Peeps (not those cute sweet ones that come out every Easter) always see what they want to see.
