I think it would only look suspicious on the person spreading it.
From time to time, I get these little anonymous "tattle tale" e-mails, informing me of some scandal or another -- and frankly, they only make me feel defensive about the target of such e-mails. I feel that if they were legit, everybody would be above board and easily identifiable -- accountable.
But when people demonstrate a need to sneak around and hide their identity, it raises eyebrows with me.
I think I got some "tattle tale" e-mail this week about one of the regular particpants here. Tsk-tsk!
