Not keeping secrets is merely ONE form of gossip. Gossip also can involve sensationalism and exageration of details, though it does not have to.

One way that I have always looked at gossip is simply telling someone else a fact or rumor about another person that you would be unwilling or uncomfortable expressing were the person in the same converstation. Now, by all counts, this is very rude behaviour, so on that point I agree. but gossip does not need to be false, or even exagerated information.

Again, though, we have strayed from the subject of the topic. (and I say we, since I am guilty as well). Let's try to keep this on topic, and discussions of gossip are not on topic (unless, of course, it is gossip about what could be coming for season 6, which is a whole 'nuther matter entirely). Oh, my bad, then Snow does gossip, but not keeping secrets. At any rate, telling someone you will keep a secret, and then telling someone else the secret, means you did not keep the secret and you are lying to the original person. So overall, Snow definitly has some dishonest personality traits, but I think part of the point of the show is everyone, whether hero or villain, has flaws.

As for on topic gossip, I wish we were getting some, because right now even the rumor mill has been pretty quiet, and with filming only a few weeks away, quite a few things should already be in the works. Hopefully we start hearing something soon, because the wait is killing me. Not true. Gossiping is where you talk and spread false rumors and stories. That is not what she is. You know that. Nope, Hmcooper is correct, gossip can be true things as well as false. And telling things you are supposted to keep quiet, like a secret, for example, would be gossiping. And really, instead of telling us we're wrong, why don't you go look up the word first:

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/gossip?s=t It is still a rude thing most of the time. And that is not what Snow is. That does not make her gossiper. You know that. Can we like move on or something? Snow does plenty of rude things, she is not some angel of virtue, and the show does not present her that way. She has flaws, just like all the characters do. Anyway, if you don't want to keep talking about something, then by all means, just don't respond back. You can't expect to always get the last word in. I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let it go. Anyway I didn't see any rude things she did. And you can't count on the author incident cause the whole thing was his fault. And don't count on the incident where she drunk this potion rumple gave her and made her dark for a while, cause it wasn't real and it was not the real her. Why don't we just forget about this sillyness and move on. And anyway, we have 17 more days till filming begins. I'm not going to let you tell me what to do, on a thread I created. XD Anyway, Snow has shared secrets she should not have shared multiple times, starting with telling Cora about Regina and Daniel, that led to Daniel's death. If you want to let it go, then let it go, as stop responding, as both I and Esk have said. As for on topic things: Adam is trolling us on Twitter, so we have that. XD
