MiddlePath -“I agree with Sam2. Even if the two women talking behind her back are not transgressing any “lashon hara” issue, it is DEFINITELY rude, serves no purpose, and is a breach of v’ahavta l’reiacha kamocha. Besides that, there are a few other problems with it:
1)It can easily LEAD to lashon hara, so why put yourself into such a situation.
2) It can make someone more accustomed to talking negatively about others, which is definitely not something a Jew should be doing.
3) This is something my mom told me: In general, it is not a good a idea to talk about the flaws in another person because G-d will then take a closer look at your own flaws, and judge you as harshly as you judged that person.”
These are definitely good points to have in life, but they don’t apply here! It is a good thing to speak bad on such a person -see my post above!
